Abstract
In the present study, the role of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in reducing nutrient concentration from municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent by phytoremediation methods was evaluated. The paper is the outcome of in-situ experiments conducted on samples collected from Singh Dwar sewage pumping station Hardwar. Results indicates that water hyacinth is capable in improving water quality by reducing nutrient concentration
