The performance of pistia stratiotes and eichornia crassipes for the heavy metal removal during backwash water from WASRA system

This study was conducted to determine the ability of Phytoremediation technology in treating groundwater contaminated with high heavy metal content of waste water, which is known as backwash water, using WASRA. Two types of aquatic plants have been used as agents for the treatment of wastewater; wat...
