2.2. Establishment of water lettuce based pond systems
A batch system of storage ponds was established to compare
with a real field macrophyte pond. The ponds were established in
plastic pots in the Screen House at the Department of Crop Science,
University of Benin, Nigeria. Wastewater quality monitoring
was carried out on these pots in order to determine the effectives
of a water lettuce based pond for treatment of rubber processing
wastewater.
