Water Hyacinth Threatens Aquatic Life in Zambia
Water hyacinth, which is commonly known as the Kafue weed, is one of the invasive species of weeds threatening the existence of aquatic life in Zambian Rivers.
The water hyacinth grows in water and chokes the life that is found therein like fish and water plants, and ultimately disturbs the life cycle of those organisms.
