All heavy metals were analyzed through HACH DR5000 spectrophotometer. As a result, among five heavy metals tested, Riccia fluitans revealed as a good agent to sequester Mn, Zn and Pb respectively. The analysis affirmed the accumulation of different metals within the plant and an equally lessen of metals in the water. An eloquent equivalence between type of heavy metals and concentration, period of time and Riccia fluitans were attained.
