Access to water resources is one of the basic needs for the survival of humans and animals. Therefore, it is necessary to seek strategies and processes that improve the quality of drinking water, based on sustainable, environmentally friendly processes that are safe for human consumption. Therefore, this article provides a detailed review of the use of natural coagulants in the treatment of drinking water with the aim of replacing chemical coagulants. Using academic and scientific databases, it was found that the binders are based on bacteria, animals, and plants such as Opuntia ficus-indica, and other coagulants that are viable as natural alternatives in the coagulation process for the purification of water resources.
