        abstract = {Sewage treatment plants (STPs) employ a vertical flow artificial wetland (VFAW) system which is subsurface flow is to treat influent sewage, which contains a mixture of nutrients, chemicals, bacteria, and organic and inorganic trash. The systems' goal was to severely treat significant pollutants by raising DO levels and decreasing pollutant levels and to compare the performance of two plant species by constructing a vertical flow artificial wetland. The parameters analysed are pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Ammonia- Nitrogen (A-N) and Ortho- Phosphates (PO4). The investigation revealed that P. karka and C. esculenta were the most effective choices for nitrogen absorption in artificial wetland (AW) systems. These plants offer an affordable and sustainable way to treat wastewater (WW), particularly in decentralized systems. The findings suggest that P. karka and C. esculenta are good candidates to improve the water quality in STP effluent.},
