Abstract

Global population, which has been estimated by United Nations to hit a whopping 9.8 Billion by the middle of this century and the corresponding demand for clean, affordable and portable water, which is not readily available, especially for developing countries and even developed ones (owing to industrialization), has become a course for concern. It is estimated that 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water and about 2.2 million people die annually, mostly of children under five due to consumption of unsafe water. Conventionally, inorganic chemicals (Aluminium sulphate being the most common among them) are used in water treatment. The use of this inorganic chemicals in treating water is fast becoming problematic, as it is associated with different deteriorating human health condition and pollution of water bodies. Hence, the search for safer, cheaper and more sustainable alternatives-Bioresource.
