        abstract = {Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), a very
fast growing plant and serious water weed has now
emerged as a plant capable of absorbing large quantity
of nutrients from sewage and industrial wastes. In the
present study, feasibility of water hyacinth in the
treatment of sugar factory waste was examined. The
water hyacinth was grown in two different
combinations: one with sugar factory effluent alone and
another with a mixture of effluent and sewage. The
results showed a significant reduction in BOD, COD and
suspended solids in the waste. The water hyacinth
exhibited healthy growth in the effluent, especially in the
presence of sewage. The addition of sewage enhanced
the treatment process, demonstrating its potential role in
wastewater remediation.},
