Synopsis

Phytoremediation, a form of bioremediation involves naturally the direct use of green plants naturally to uptake or absorption of pollutants through roots and their translocation to the upper part of the plant is one of the feasible options among the phytotechnologies applied to remove heavy metals concentration 
from the contaminated water bodies. Aquatic macrophytes possess certain characteristics and features and can tolerate the influence of environmental conditions. An attempt has been made in this chapter to discuss the potential use of some aquatic macrophytes like Ipomoea aquatica Forsk, and Eichhornia 
crassipes, (Mart.) Solms, Typha angustata Bory & Chaub, Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle, Pistia stratiotes and their prospective use in phytoremediation.
