Now, new research shows that the tree’s seeds could provide a low-cost means of water purification that could drastically reduce water-borne diseases in the developing world.

Michael Lea, a researcher at Clearinghouse, a Canadian organisation dedicated to investigating and implementing low-cost water purification technologies, says the Moringa-based water treatment technique can produce a 90 to 99.99 per cent reduction in bacteria in previously untreated water. He outlines the procedure at the site Current Protocols as part of John Wiley & Sons’ Corporate Citizenship Initiative.

“Moringa oleifera is a vegetable tree which is grown in Africa, Central and South America, the Indian subcontinent, and South East Asia,” Lea said. “It could be considered to be one of the world’s most useful trees. Not only is it drought resistant, it also yields cooking and lighting oil, soil fertiliser, as well as highly nutritious food in the form of its pods, leaves, seeds and flowers. Perhaps most importantly, its seeds can be used to purify drinking water at virtually no cost.””
