Environmental Pollution is becoming a major threat around the world due to the release of toxic and hazardous substances. Anthropogenic influence of water resource is a global problem. The major pollutants such as dye stuffs from the textile industries affect the aquatic ecosystem. The discharge of toxic effluents from various industries adversely affects water resources, soil fertility, aquatic organisms and ecosystem integrity. Phytoremediation aquatic macrophytes through treatment system for the removal of pollutants and contaminants from various natural resources is a well developed environmental protection technique. Mangrove plant Rhizophora mucronata, a best innovative aquatics weed has been utilized for various research activities over the last few decades. The biosorption capacity of the mangrove in minimizing various contaminants present in the industrial wastewater was well studied. Textile industry wastewater carries the contaminants responsible for the continuous pollution of the environment. Textile wastewater contains substantial pollution loads in terms of total dissolved solids (TDS). The Present research investigates the reduction of total dissolved solids (TDS) of raw textile wastewater by using Rhizophora mucronata.
