Water hyacinth [Eichornia] divides very fast in the water bodies through vegetative propagation. It soon form a layer on the water body allowing no supply of light in the water due to which the aquatic life is unable to take up the dissolved oxygen resulting in the death.
But nowadays we are using it in our daily life suppose if there is a water body near an industry and the Industry is releasing its polluted water containing heavy metals, toxic substances then we grow this water hyacinth (terror of Bengal) there due to which it takes up all the heavy metals dissolved in it and soon is water body dries.
