Abstract
Abstract An attempt to provide a design methodology for wastewater treatment in water hyacinth ponds Is tried in the following lines. Literature data is complemented with growth rate and yield measurements to develop a performance equation with two dimensioniess groups indicating the system capacity for nutrient removal. It is concluded that organic loads up to 10 Kg BOD Ha−1 d−1 are critical to obtain nitrogen removal efficencies greater than 80%. Nutrient removal can be increased if water hyacinth ponds are operated as maturation ponds.
