Phytoremediation alternatives for agricultural water

Agricultural production in recent times has been taking over the progress and development of rural communities; reason for which there is a host of alternatives to promote social welfare. The presented research aims to implement phytoremediation, with the intention of making use of a series of technologies that are based on the use of plants to clean or restore contaminated environments, such as water, soil, and even air. For development of the experiment, residual water from a rice monoculture located at the Centro Agropecuario y de Biotecnología El Porvenir of SENA, Monteria. According to the pre-established variables, it was corroborated that the success of phytoremediation depends, above all, on the judicious selection of plant species, their ability to survive, and the climate in the geographical region. The treatments were fed with residual water with a flow rate of 0.75 liters per second every three days, which indicates that according to the phytoremediation procedure. With these results, it is intended to establish a wetland model to reduce the concentrations of pollutants in the water produced by conventional rice planting.
