Water hyacinth can easily got rid off by keeping the carp fish of any kind which will gladly eat up the water hyacinth and also reduce the water pollution. But the fish will remain alive if sufficient water is made available in a flowing condition during the period Jan. to Jun. Whatever, water hyacinth remains, it can be removed and converted into bio-gas along with other bio material or converted into electricity if possible. These things have been tried out in India in Rajasthan on the Chambal river and canal system many years back. This has also been done in China.

Dear Mr. Mehul Patel, rivers in Pune, India, many times catch hyacinth. Our municipal corporation engages a contractor, who removes it. You should get in touch with Pune Municipal Corporation or even Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation for getting the rates, names of contractors etc.

Hyacinth removal is not a big problem. Idea must be to prevent it from happening. Regards,
