The layout of the system comprised 3 experimental units with 3 replicates. Each unit consists of one level of water depth with four levels of Pistia stratiotes coverage (50; 70; 90 and 0% (control)) under the outdoor condition. The results indicated that P. stratiotes can be successfully used for wa...
