    Abstract :

    Wastewater treatment plants produce wastes that contain many potential contaminants. Reclaimed wastewater is usually clean enough to be used for irrigation, but usually contains higher (~1.5 times) concentrations of dissolved solids than the source water and play a vital role in reducing the microbial load of sewage before the end-products are discharged to surface waters (final effluent) or local environments (bio solids).Wetlands a re effective nutrient sinks and absorbers of organic and inorganic pollutants. They require little or no energy to f unction; constructed wetlands offer distinct advantages over alternative treatment systems, wastewater treatment by f loating technique can be a cost effective. In this wastewater is treated by using indigenous plats like Hyacinth, SagattariaLatifollia, and Onion Weed and the maximum percentage reduction of various parameters can be observed at 45th days of observation.
