| dc.description.abstract | This chapter examines environmental sustainability with focus on water as an indispensable resource, and the menace of a plant called Water hyacinth as the worst aquatic weed that has the fastest proliferation rate. The plant hinders water transport; clogs major water ways; acts as a microhabitat for disease vectors; increases evapotranspiration; reduces biodiversity in aquatic environment and causes problems related to fishing. The paper is a demonstration that is activity oriented. The topic demonstrated is “Effects of water hyacinth in aquatic environments (artificial ponds). Participants are expected to record their observations and relate them to the menace of the plant. | en_US |
