This study illustrates the importance of some aquatic plants as bioindicators of contamination with hydrocarbons and heavy elements. Aquatic plants have many applications in the treatment of contamination with hydrocarbons and heavy elements, due to much lower cost and higher efficiency. Aquatic plants have been proved in numerous studies to be sinks for heavy metals and hydrocarbons in aquatic ecosystems, and it is also used in the treatment process and to reduce or limit contamination (hydrocarbons and heavy metals).
