The present study was aimed to identify the ground water contamination problems in Laksar block of district Haridwar. The ground water samples were collected from 6 different locations of Laksar block. The Physico -chemical parameters were assessed to check either the water is suitable or not for drinking purpose. The Physico-chemical parameters such Temperature, Total hardness (TH), Calcium Hardness (CaH), Acidity, Chloride, Sulphate, pH and Electrical Conductivity (EC) were analysed as per standard methods. In this study values of different parameters were recorded such as acidity (78.6 to 79.4 mg/l), pH (6.36 to7.11), chloride (111.8 to 113.8 mg/l) and total hardness (370.2 to 374.6 mg/l) respectively. This study revealed that water samples may raise concern on the safety of the water for human health may cause the various water borne disease, therefore, the proper hygiene and purification techniques should be recommended.

“…[39] The extensive water hyacinth roots significantly contributed to the turbidity reduction from GW. [40] Significant turbidity removal was observed in all the systems, irrespective of the water hyacinth density and hydraulic loading rate. Moreover, the visual observation of the reactor showed the presence of snails on the reactor walls.…”

Water scarcity is a global issue and finding alternative ways to meet our water needs within available resources is becoming increasingly important. Repurposing greywater for non‐potable uses, such as irrigation and car washing, can help alleviate the demand for drinking water. Greywater recycling and reuse are viable options to combat water scarcity. This study investigated the treatment of greywater using phytoremediation, specifically focusing on the effect of water hyacinth density and hydraulic retention time (HRT). An artificial neural network was used to optimize these parameters in the treatment system. The experiment spanned over 7 weeks and consisted of two phases. In phase I, different water hyacinth densities (ranging from 1.0 to 4.0 kg/m2) were tested, while phase II examined various HRTs (ranging from 12 to 48 h). The results indicated that the optimal conditions for greywater treatment were a water hyacinth density of 2 kg/m2 and an HRT of 48 h. Under these optimal conditions, the treatment system achieved high removal efficiencies for turbidity (98.02 ± 0.75%), chemical oxygen demand (59.42 ± 5.64%), ammonium‐nitrogen (87.45 ± 7.29%), and phosphate (94.50 ± 2.19%). However, the removal of total suspended solids was relatively low at 43.98 ± 9.20%. These findings were confirmed using an artificial neural network, showing a strong correlation (R > 0.99). The study concludes that phytoremediation using water hyacinth can be a viable option for greywater recycling and reuse, effectively addressing water scarcity. The recommended optimal conditions include a water hyacinth density of 2 kg/m2 and an HRT of 48 h.

“…The higher turbidity removal efficiency was due to the significant role of the extensive root system of water hyacinth. [ 34,35 ] The addition of SFU and AFU further enhanced the turbidity removal. Agarry et al [ 36 ] observed 91.5% turbidity removal from bioremediation of petroleum refinery wastewater treated using water hyacinth.…”

Adopting a greywater treatment system that provides economical, effective, and sustainable treated greywater over a longer span helps to address water scarcity. The present study focuses on treating greywater generated from hostels using a floating plant treatment system (FPTS) planted with water hyacinth. The additional units, a sand filter and an activated charcoal filter, were attached in series to FPTS to improve the treated greywater quality. The treatment system was operated for 90 days with daily monitoring of influent and effluent parameters. The treatment performance was evaluated based on the removal efficiency for total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia, sulphate, phosphate, and faecal coliform (FC) of 74.81% ± 5.74%, 99.76% ± 0.05%, 95.70% ± 4.10%, 99.16% ± 2.08%, 48.22% ± 1.80%, and 100%, 97.27% ± 1.48%, respectively. The study showed that the system effectively treats greywater, making it suitable for non‐potable purposes on educational institution's campuses.
