Abstract
Hydrophytes, or aquatic plants, play a significant role in sustainable agriculture by supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through bioremediation and soil reclamation, water purification, and enhanced carbon storage. Land reclamation practice is the process of converting heavy metal contaminated water bodies and soil into usable land for various human activities like agriculture, urbanization, and industrial use. Phytoremediation is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method in the revitalization of the environment by utilizing plants to restore polluted water and land sources. Some hydrophytes such as water cabbage (Pistiastratiotes), duckweed (Lemnagibba), and water hyacinth (Eichhorniacrassipes) are floating hydrophytes famous for their pollution absorption capability mostly for metals in industrial waste water. This chapter discuss about reclamation of soil based on re-vegetation with hydrophytes.
