What is water hyacinth?
water with water is a type of permanent, flowering, aquatic plant originating in South America, which has spread with deep speed and distribution throughout the world. If they are not properly checked, water hyacinths can dominate the water body and take over the lake or pond so effectively that water can become oxygen and is no longer able to provide a hospitable fish environment. Water hyacinth usually has flowers that are purple or lavender in color, and although it is difficult to get rid of as soon as the infestation has begun, they can be used potentially to remove waste in water. Although there are several different species, water hyacinths belong to the family eichhornia and can sometimes be referred to as water orchids. They have flat, dark green leaves that are slightly or elliptical shapes and flowers can protrude up to about three feet (almost 1 m) from the water surface. Where hyacinth of water has spread, it often brought problems with attacking and suffocation of waterways.
In the United States (USA), many problems with the spread of water hyacinth in regions such as Florida have emerged. Hyacinths grow so amazing that they can completely cover the water body and simmer all other life that can depend on this water. Mechanical or manual removal of plants can be difficult and costly, so the removal of insects was a common method of solving water contamination of hyacinth. In the US there were Weevils that feed on water hyacinths, to the areas of hyacinth overpopulation and were relatively effective in reducing the number of plants.
Similar methods have been used in regions such as Africa, although such contaminants are not usually completely eliminated, the problem may be under control. In many countries in the US, the transport of water hyacinth to the state may be illegal and anyone who does it could face legal prosecution. Despite the potential of overpopulation, there are some potential benefits for which hyacinths can be used. For example, the root systems of water hyacinths oBeskily draw microscopic algae and life of plants that can provide food for fish, turtles and water poultry
part of the invasive and difficult nature of water hyacinth is its resistance to harmful chemicals, including metals. This can be used in a beneficial way, as water hyacinths can be able to help remove harmful elements in waste water facilities. Scientists also investigate the use of these hyacinths to clean chemical leaks and eliminate poisons such as cyanide from water bodies.
