being suitable for human consumption,
water in these conditions causes various
waterborne diseases. In Latin American
and Caribbean countries, these diseases
are among the ten most frequent causes
of death.
The design of the ecological filter
(slow up). Objective. To make water
available in rural communities without
using chemical substances, used by
sanitary engineering in a traditional
manner for purification. Methodology.
The application of this research project
will be executed in the community of
Pichiyacu de los Cayapas, located
in Ecuador, province of Esmeraldas,
canton Eloy Alfaro. Result. Scientific
research has shown that the seed of the
Moringa oleifera, is a friendly alternative
to the environment and human being,
because it has efficiencies over 90%
in the elimination of turbidity, and up to
100% in the removal of coliforms Fecal
Conclusions. This project considers
the water quality parameters at the confluence of the Santiago and Ónzole
