Abstract

Water pollution is the serious issue. In last some decade, a lot of or so many resources has been done on the potential of aquatic plant for pollutants removal. Aquatic plants successfully used for wastewater treatment. It is very useful to removing pollutant like heavy metals, suspended solids, BOD, and organic matters. This paper has been mainly focused on the removal of heavy metals from waste water using aquatic plant. Aquatic plant could grow in sewage; they absorb and digest the pollutants in waste water, thus diverting sewage effluents to clean water. Thus, the plant or set up is a natural water purification system, which can be stabilized at a fraction of the cost of a conventional sewage treatment facility.
