Water pollution has become one of the most serious problems of today’s civilization. Lemnaceae is one of the aquatic plant species successfully used for wastewater treatment. It is very efficient in removing pollutant. This paper mainly focuses on the treatment of waste water by phytoremediation process using the plant ‘Lemnaceae’ and has given emphasis to the removal of heavy metals by the plant. Lemnaceae could grow in sewage; they absorb and digest the pollutants in wastewater, thus converting sewage effluents to relatively clean water. Thus, the plants hold promise as a natural water purification system, which could be established at a fraction of the cost of a conventional sewage treatment facility. The study conducted in this regard revealed how efficiently wastewater could be treated using the plant ‘Lemnaceae’.Water pollution has become one of the most serious problems of today’s civilization.
