Abstract
-P and total coliforms were in the range of 93.7-97.3 %, 52-83 %, 63-86 %, 51-74%, 81-88 % and 92-97 %, respectively. Based on the results, the highest removal efficiency was observed in the sand media amended with 50 % pumice and planted with lemongrass, while the lowest was found in the barren sand media.
