Abstract

The study included the analysis and measurement of some physical and chemical pollutants in the agricultural wastewater with the aim of treating it and reusing it in the agricultural field. The study dealt with the application of the phytoremediation system to treat the agricultural wastewater. The purpose of the study was to use the Ceratophyllum demersum L. and Lemna minor L. plants to treat the agricultural wastewater and the possibility of using them for irrigation or other uses. The duration of the study is in September, October and November of 2023 AD. Some pollutants were analyzed and measured, such as turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), electrical conductivity (EC), total hardness (TH), sodium (Na), and phosphate (PO4). The results of the study showed a clear difference in the physical and chemical factors of water quality, as the two treatment T3 and T4 were given the best results compared to the rest of the treatments in the percentage of removal through treatment with C. demersum and L.minor plants
