Water the major natural resource on earth, Nowadays there are many reasons left for the contamination of water. According to the survey done by UNICEF states that abundance of contaminated water has a disastrous effect on Children. Excessive intake of fluoride (F), mainly through drinking water, is a serious health hazard affecting humans worldwide. There are several methods used for the defluoridation of drinking water. Fluoride in excess of the permissible limits in drinking water causes a number of endemic conditions referred to collectively as fluorosis. Endemic fluorosis remains a challenging national health problem in India. Telangana is the worst affected states in India though a wide range of chemical and physical defluoridation systems were evolved and tried. The primary reason for the diseases like fluorosis, paraplegia, arthritis and many other cardiovascular diseases in rural areas like Nalgonda a district in Telangana , INDIA is the high content of fluorine in their drinking water. For optimal dental health, the World Health Organization recommends a level of fluoride from 0.5 to 1.0 mg/L (milligrams per liter), depending on climate. Fluorosis becomes possible above this recommended dosage. Activated alumina, charcoal, sand defluoridation filter method can be used as it occupies less space, works automatically, can be used for large-scale purification and also consumes less energy
