Abstract
Conventional treatment technologies are costly, time-consuming, and inefficient. Phytoremediation is a cost-effective emerging technology for treatment of wastewater using water plants. It is a waste utilization process with the help of specific water plants. Thus, selection of plants is the most important or significant aspect for phytoremediation success. The potential of aquatic plants can be enhanced by application of new and innovative approaches. These water plants help in removal of contaminants and heavy metals from polluted water. The prominent metal accumulator are water hyacinth, water lettuce and duckweed.
