PHYTOREMEDIATION OF TREATED INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENT COLLECTED FROM AHMEDABAD MEGA PIPE LINE

Abstract

Present paper deals with phytoremediation ability of Pistia stratiotes L. Accumulation ability of Pistia stratiotes L. has been used to remediate treated industrial effluent collected from Ahmedabad mega pipe line. Industrial effluents released by Ahmedabad GIDC cluster are treated at central effluent treatment plant (CEPTs). Treated effluents are released into Sabarmati River through mega pipe line.
