Abstract

Water is vital for all living organisms, comprising approximately 60% of the human body. Water quality is influenced by physical, chemical, biological, and aesthetic factors, with pollution arising from both point and non-point sources, leading to the presence of harmful contaminants. This qualitative review examines the role of various plants and microbial sources in the purification of contaminated water, focusing on their ability to remove heavy metals and pollutants. This integration of natural methods presents a promising approach to improving water quality in both rural and urban areas, contributing to better health outcomes and environmental sustainability. About twenty-five plants are used for the removal of contaminants, five plants for clearance of turbidity, twenty four microbial species for removal of heavy metals.
