'The plants along its riverbanks, installed by the PRRC, aim to improve the estero's water quality through
phytoremediation which is the use of plants like Bandera Espanola, Vetiver, and Heliconia which are scientifically-proven to absorb pollutants and heavy metals to naturally filter the water,' PRRC said.
Among their topics are vermicomposting practices: a sustainable strategy for agriculture and climate change, the role of agroforestry in carbon sequestration: an Indian perspective, silvo-pasture systems: a way ahead for sustainable development in India, tree-soil interaction studies on different species in arboretum, and
phytoremediation of coal mine-based wastelands: an approach in the Raniganj Coalfield.
represented by its president, Jean-Philippe Henry for the construction of Pilot Plant, a
phytoremediation wastewater treatment plant.
Tolerant plants are useful for the application on
phytoremediation systems that are used to scavenge heavy metals from polluted spots.
Crude oil-contaminated soil
phytoremediation by using Cyperus brevifolius (Rottb.) Hassk.
The acquired knowledge is to be used in planning of biomass processing systems and, in parallel, in
phytoremediation of polluted soils, using cultivation of energy plants as a main concept [19, 20].
A solution to this problem was suggested in terms of a new innovative eco-friendly technology known as
phytoremediation which utilizes plants for treatment of pollutants.

Phytoremediation (PR) is a green technology that uses plant systems for the remediation and restoration of contaminated sites [19].
Use of plants in purification process is called
phytoremediation, and it has gained attention as a suitable option for the treatment of landfill leachate [6, 13].
