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.
NHCC Ecologist Musawa Hamusonde said water hyacinth is more deadly than it seems as it could cover the whole river. "Once water life is dead, the whole ecological system gets tempered with and nature becomes imbalanced," she said.
