Feasibility Study of Cow Dung Ash as a Disinfectant in Water

In case of emergency water which is not purified our filtered may be used but water without the process of disinfection cannot be taken in use for drinking purpose. Disinfection process of water is very important in order to avoid the health related problem. This study addresses the issue of disinfection of water. The main objective of this study is to provide an economical and ecofriendly alternative to existing disinfectant. The cow dung ash has a property of disinfecting the water. Some researchers have proved that cow dung ash not only disinfectant the water but also improves its mineral content and DO. When water is treated with chlorine, if the excessive amount of chlorine is added in water it may form some disinfection by products called trialo-methane (THMs).This by-product form when chlorine reacts with organic matter like leaves etc. In the less knowledge area of disinfection it may affect hazardously as it causes cancer.
