“…Some authors report weight gains of 4.8% per day and the number of WH plants doubled on average every 13 days in a field observation [6]. It can grow most rapidly in water temperatures from 28 to 36°C [16] and at a pH from 4 to 8 [5]. They cease to grow when the water temperature is above 40°C or below 10°C, and the pH range for growth is between 4 and 10.…”

“…The seeds can live up to 15-20 years in water, silt, and mud [32,35]. With these characteristics, the WH has become a major ecological and economic problem in this century in the tropics and subtropics [5,16].…”

“…It first appeared in Africa in the early 1900s and in Europe in the 1930s [4]. Known for its rapid spreading rate and noxiousness, WH has been reported to be able to double its coverage in an average of 13 days, allowing plants to cover a wide range of water surfaces in a short period of time [5,6]. The term "noxiousness" indicates that WH has severely damaged the water bodies due to its biology and function in aquatic ecosystems.…”

Many lakes and rivers all over the globe are experiencing environmental, human health, and socio-economic development issues due to the spread of invasive water hyacinth (WH) weed. WH is regarded as one of the world’s most destructive weeds and is nearly impossible to control and eliminate due to its rapid expansion and ability to double its coverage area in 13 days or fewer. However, most people in developing countries appear to be hoping for a miraculous cure; there are none and never will be. In this regard, this chapter aims to give an insight to raise awareness, research its biology and challenges, management options, and potential prospects on integrated control-valorization and its policy implications. WH biomass has demonstrated potential as a biorefinery feedstock for bioenergy and biofertilizer production, heavy metal phytoremediation, handicraft and furniture making, animal feed, and other applications. As a result, large-scale integrated control and valorization is an economically viable strategy for preventing further infestation through incentivizing WH control: providing a sustainable environment, increasing energy mix, increasing fertilizer mix, increasing food security, reducing GHG emissions, boosting socio-economic development, and creating new green jobs for local and riparian communities. Therefore, it is a leap forward in addressing global sustainable development goals (SDGs) through the water-energy-food-ecosystem (WEFE) nexus.

“…Phytoremediation method is familiar to remove impurities on industrial effluent. Ajithram et al [6] describe detailed review about Water hyacinth natural composite extraction methods and properties using phytoremediation methods. This will be helpful to most of the industries developed near water surface areas and doing their recycling process also successfully.…”

“…To control the effluent addition in water is the most complicated task in the polluted environment due to its scattered nature and spread in nearby places too. Various techniques are used to handle these effluents such as chemicals added to these particles, removed manually; machines used, and so on, which have not given complete solutions for industrial effluent handling [4][5][6]. Later, the Phytoremediation method has introduced to handle the problems in industrial effluent.…”

INTRODUCTION: Industries and factories are the backbone of any nation to increase the economy through its productivity and develop the county globally. But the wastages and sewages produced by each industry are creating pollution and make cleanliness environment on the society. OBJECTIVES: The recycling process and decontamination process of that industrial effluent is a challenging task for all the industries in and around the world. Ancient techniques are followed in industrial effluent cleaning processes but the output of those is not sufficient in terms of recycling.. METHODS: Phytoremediation is the new technique used to control industrial effluent with the help of water hyacinth available in the water places. This paper discussed all possible solutions of industrial effluent removal along with water quality improvement techniques. Decontamination of the industrial effluent using water hyacinth is mainly dealt in leaves, stems, and root parts. There are only water hyacinth is used to remove industrial effluent, no other products like powder, liquid plants, and other chemicals are used. RESULTS: Total duration of 21 days has to be considered for the growth of water hyacinth used in water places to monitor the recycling of industrial effluent at different parts. A water quality test has been conducted to identify the level of contaminants in the Industrial effluent. Furthermore, BOD (Biological oxygen demand), COD (Chemical oxygen demand), TDS (Total dissolved solids), TSS (Total suspended solids), Turbidity, and chloride levels are taken as a parameter from the industrial effluents. CONCLUSION: Every 24hours, for continuous 3-5days the color of effluent has been notified to predict the changes. Turbidity and other impurities are noted by the effects of the water hyacinth used as results.
