Water hyacinths provide food and filtration and also provides nutrients to soil etc. But in large quantities it can hinder transportation and water flow. Since there's abundance, we can actually have a processing plant to create biodegradable paper based materials using the said plant, convert to fertilizer and food for agricultural, horticultural and industrial animal farming processes. Sana matugunan sa ganung paraan.

I recently filmed my trip for my KZbin channel Train Lord Pasig River ferry from San Joaquín to Guadalupe. I have certainly seen huge quantities of the water lillies on this river which will remain a continuous problem. Hopefully they can separate the lillies from the other garbage in order to recycle it as future fertiliser. It would be great to have an efficient and reliable river ferry system for the Pasig River in the future. Thanks for posting.

@The Drive not recycle

[@Wyrm1701]

One thing worth mentioning is that the water lillies are doing some good too. They're grabbing onto phosphate and nitrate pollution and stopping it going out to sea, so the lillies can be used as compost fertiliser to recycle those essential nutrients (especially the phosphates, which are in short supply).

[@nicapika7970]

Yes...But they are invasive. And too much of it is not good, bcoz it can clogged up the propellers of the passing boats. Also the water can't flow well and garbages can be stucked under those plants that can cause floods in the city.

Water Hyacinth was cultivated in the Pasig River as a form of natural water filter to clean up the toxins dumped into the river from manufacturing plants located next to the river. The problem is that the plants are invasive. The plants grow and multiply at a fast rate. Imagine using those truckloads of water lilies, not just for livelihoods projects but as a renewable resource for a biogas power plant. Now that's an idea.
