About The Book
Present book is the findings of innovative research work conducted on the wastewater treatment by non-conventional method. Aquatic plants have been tested under different experimental conditions for tertiary treatment of wastewater and amazing observations are cited in the book. Biomass generated through sequestration of nutrients are recommend for multiple economical benefits.
