| description | There is an increasing pursuit of utilizing plants as a gear to predict, describe and diagnose
environmental stresses. Being united swiftly with their environments, granting them to offer
beneficial information on the condition of the aquatic environment. The aquatic plant species are
effectively reliable indices as water status indicators. Their ability in taking up metal and toxic
pollutants has shown their level of strength as well as tolerance in any concentration levels.
Eutrophication is also being associated with the existence of aquatic plants. This widespread crisis
in water bodies is made by over enrichment with nitrogen (N) and phosphate (P). Excess nutrients
can trigger undesirable eutrophication, resulting in unhealthy algal blooms, spreading of certain
aquatic macrophytes, depletion of oxygen and loss of key species, resulting in widespread
degradation of many freshwater ecosystems. A broad number of physico-chemical parameters and
biological characteristics render the degree of quality of water resources. Supervising above
parameters is a crucial part to classify the magnitude and origin of any pollution load. The study
was carried out to determine the levels of Nitrite (NO2), Nitrate (NO3) and Phosphate (PO4), in
different stations of urban lakes in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The significant outcome of this
research is the abundance or loss of certain key species can be used as indicator for eutrophication
state and level for urban lakes management and maintenance. |
