Effect of Ipomoea aquatic/ Ipomoea reptans (kangkung) on wastewater quality from oil palm production

In this era of complex and modern technology, water pollution has become a severe problem for the world to cope with. Enormous expenditure has been delivered to resolve this serious matter. Unfortunately, most of the efforts are to no avail without the people awareness and responsibility towards cle...
