Water is very useful to human beings, plants
and animals. Apart from consumption in the case of
portable water, the non- portable water is also useful in
some instances, however, sometimes it contain some
bacteria which need to be disinfected. This research
work was carried out to disinfect gray water obtained
from students’ hostel at main campus of Bayero
University, Kano. Crude extract of this plants’ pod was
injected into water treatment sequence. The result
indicates a considerable reduction in the concentration
of bacteria present in the grey-water samples. It
revealed that addition of 100 mg/L of 0.5% (w/v) and
1.0% (w/v) M. oleifera pod extract were only effective in
removing bacteria up to 6.9% and 12.4% respectively
