Water being the source of life has become a scarce resource in this millennium. Since the limited resource availability, reuse of the available supply is more suggestible. Loads of wastewater get generated from institution, industrial, commercial and domestic origins and are discarded. Phytoremediation converts this wastewater into usable water with the help of plants. This is a very eco-friendly technique which decontaminates the wastewater in a very economical way. Azolla is a good phytoremediation and can be used for the treatment of wastewater. The core aim of this study is the organic removal efficiency in terms of COD usisng Azolla plant as a sorbent. The maximum COD removal efficiency was attained 94.73% at an HRT of 5 days with an OLR of 0.026 Kg/COD/m3.day.
