Wastewater management has a direct impact on the biological diversity of aquatic ecosystems. Disrupting the fundamental integrity of our life support systems. When water bodies receive excess nutrients especially nitrates and phosphates, these nutrients can stimulate excessive plant growth, which causes eutrophication including algal blooms. Eutrophication leads to oxygen depletion, decreased biodiversity, changes in species composition and dominance, and a severe reduction in water quality.Aquatic plants grow profusely in lakes and waterways all over the world and in recent decades their negative effects have been magnified by man's intensive use of water bodies. Eradication of the weeds has proved almost impossible and even reasonable control is difficult. Turning these weeds to productive use would be desirable if it would partly offset the costs involved in mechanical removal. These aquatic plants were growing on the waste-water in different range. Amount of Nitrate, phosphate, EC, TDS, pH changes were estimated and analyzed. Through this experiment 87.5% of Nitrate, 67% of phosphate was absorbed by the aquatic plants and 25% reduction of Ec and TDS was observed and alkaline pH changes to neutral. DuckweedWater hyacinth and are high pollutant removal ef ciency and highest fi survival among these aquatic plants.performs the considerable reduction than Azolla others plants. Whereas performs the lowest reduction rate compared to other Salvinia aquatic plants. In addition to that performs the high reduction of water pH. In hydrila this study phytoremediated waste-water, which consists permissible level of pollutants can be used for the irrigation of farm plants without any physiological stress.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
