A simple lab-scale experiment was conducted to study the performance ofaerated and non-aerated water hyacinth systems in treating domestic wastewater. The aerated water hyacinth system showed higher removal efficiencies than the non-aerated water hyacinth system. This may be due to aeration induced...
