Proposed Development Framework for Himayat Sagar
What is PhytoremediationPhytoremediation describes the treatment of environmental problems through the use of plants which mitigate the environmental problem without the need to excavate the contaminant material and dispose of it elsewhere.’ It refers to the natural ability of certain plants called hyper-accumulators (absorb unusually large amounts of metals in comparison to other plants) to bioaccumulate, degrade or render harmless, contaminants in soils, water or air. Specially selected or engineered plants are used in the process.

Phytoremediation
Proposed Development Framework for Himayat Sagar
Root Zone Treatment
Rootzone treatment is the method in which the contaminants of contaminated water like TCE, PCE , etc are broken-down by anaerobic bacteria surrounding the roots of the wetland plants. This method is very successful way to pretreat highly contaminated water and is a natural precursor to Phytoremediation (which works better in low to medium contamination levels).
Phytoremediation
Proposed Development Framework for Himayat Sagar
Plant Selection
•Climatologically requirements;•translocation and uptake capabilities;•tolerance levels with respect to chemicals known to exist at the site;•tolerance to drought-prone or poorly-drained conditions;•tolerance to pH and salinity of the soil and groundwater;•depth of the root zone;•growth rate;•transpiration rate or water use;•whether it is deciduous or evergreen (affects the period of effectiveness);•maintenance requirements;•native vs. non-native species; and•commercial availability.
Phytoremediation
Proposed Development Framework for Himayat Sagar
Advantages•The cost of the phytoremediation is lower than that of traditional processes both in situ and ex situ. •The plants can be easily monitored.•It is more likely to be accepted by the public as Plants makes the site aesthetically• pleasing as well.•It requires less equipments and labour than other methods since plants do most of the work.• The site can be cleaned up without removing polluted soil or pumping polluted groundwater.• This allows workers to avoid contact with harmful chemicals.•The possibility of the recovery and re-use of valuable metals. •It is potentially the least harmful method because it uses naturally occurring organisms• and preserves the environment in a more natural state. •Phytoremediation is considered a clean, cost-effective and non-environmentally disruptive technology, as opposed to mechanical cleanup methods such as soil excavation or pumping polluted groundwater.•It has the potential to treat sites polluted with more than one type of pollutant.
Phytoremediation
Proposed Development Framework for Himayat Sagar
Limitations•phytoremediation is limited to the surface area and depth occupied by the roots. • Slow growth and low biomass require a long-term commitment •with plant-based systems of remediation, it is not possible to completely prevent the leaching of contaminants into the groundwater (without the complete removal of the contaminated ground, which in itself does not resolve the problem of contamination) •The survival of the plants is affected by the toxicity of the contaminated land and the general condition of the soil. •Bio-accumulation of contaminants, especially metals, into the plants which then pass into the food chain, from primary level consumers upwards, requires the safe disposal of the affected plant material. •It is dependent on the growing conditions required by the plant (i.e. climate, soil, temperature, etc.)•Large scale operations require access to agricultural equipments and knowledge.•Success is dependent on the tolerance of the plant to the pollutant•Contaminants collected in senescing tissues may be released back into the environment in autumn•Contaminants may be collected in woody tissues used as fuel.
