The supply crisis of treated drinking water exists in the different cities and villages of our country, leading the people who do not have this elemental liquid to look for water sources to fulfill their needs; this is the case of the San Lorenzo Sector, where the inhabitants, when they were short of water, looked for a source of water which they use for their domestic activities. For this reason, the objective of this research was to determine the efficiency of activated carbon obtained from coconut endocarp in the reduction of turbidity and color of runoff water and thus improve water quality. For this purpose, activated carbon was produced at a carbonization temperature of 700 °C in a time of 30 minutes, phosphoric acid (H3PO4) was used as activating agent at a concentration of 85%, obtaining a total of 637 g of activated carbon, of which 525 g were used for the different treatments. A completely randomized design was used for the experiemntal research, which consisted of 3 treatments (100 g, 50 g and 25 g of activated carbon) and a control (no treatment), with three replicates for each treatment where 1 L of water from the catchment was filtered for each treatment. After testing the parameters, it was determined that the best efficiency was obtained with treatment 3 (T3) in terms of color and turbidity reduction efficiency, 97.56% and 97.11%, respectively. Subsequently, an activated carbon filter was installed in situ where, as well as the laboratory tests, the efficiency of this product for the reduction of turbidity and color units in the water was demonstrated, obtaining values that were suitable according to the maximum permissible limits of the water quality regulations for human consumption.
