This study aims to utilize horn banana peel powder, a form of organic waste, as a biocoagulant to reduce water turbidity in dug wells. It addresses the need for environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternatives to chemical coagulants, particularly for households relying on groundwater in rural areas. This research employed a true experimental design using a pre-test and post-test control group. The treatments consisted of biocoagulant doses of 6 g/L, 7 g/L, and 8 g/L. Turbidity was measured using a Hach 2100Q turbidity meter. Data were analyzed using Paired Sample T-Test, ANOVA with Welch correction, and Games-Howell post hoc test to determine statistical significance. The optimal dose of 8 g/L reduced turbidity from 249 NTU to 2.42 NTU, achieving a 99.03% reduction. Statistical analysis (p < 0.05) confirmed significant differences between all treatment groups. Horn banana peel powder is an effective, natural alternative to chemical coagulants for improving groundwater quality. It supports circular bioeconomy practices and complies with standards.

Horn banana peel powder effectively reduces well water turbidity, achieving up to 99.03% reduction at a dose of 8 g/L and meeting clean water quality standards.This biocoagulant offers a simple and accessible solution for communities utilizing well water, promoting the replacement of chemical coagulants.The research supports sustainable practices by utilizing organic waste and contributing to a circular bioeconomy.

Further research should investigate the impact of horn banana peel biocoagulant on other water quality parameters such as pH, TDS, and BOD, particularly in groundwater sources with high hardness and acidity. Additionally, studies could explore the optimal combination of banana peel powder with other locally available natural materials to enhance its coagulation efficiency and broaden its applicability. Finally, research is needed to assess the long-term effects of using this biocoagulant on the overall water ecosystem and to develop standardized protocols for its production and application, ensuring consistent performance and environmental safety for widespread adoption in rural communities and small-scale water treatment systems.
