it growa abundantly in eutropic water bodies and lead to imbalance in ecosystem dynamics of water bodies —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.212.237.220 (talk) 07:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Two and half acres are a brent of oil
[edit]The productivity of this plant is enormous.Two and a half acres of water hyacinth produces about a brent of oil, in biogas every day.Agre22 (talk) 23:02, 1 September 2009 (UTC)agre22
About the biogas production from water hyacinth, the site [biogas] talks about this subject. These other sites: [India], [Humble grasse] , [Energy] and [Kudzu] must be read.Agre22 (talk) 01:20, 20 September 2009 (UTC)agre22
unclear language
[edit]"They are being found for the abundant plants, such as for cattle food and in biogas production. " Will the the author of this please rewrite it so that the meaning is clear? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pechaney (talk • contribs) 20:22, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
I agree.... large parts of this article are written in some language other than English....someone please rationalize (make rational) the title structure....what is the Exogenous sections role in the article?, and make the English compact and direct rather than amorphous and circumspect...

Contradictory language in the "invasiveness" section
[edit]Statement 1:
When not controlled, water hyacinth will cover lakes and ponds entirely; this dramatically impacts water flow, blocks sunlight from reaching native aquatic plants, and starves the water of oxygen, often killing fish (or turtles).
Statement 2:
Water hyacinth is often problematic in man-made ponds if uncontrolled, but can also provide a food source for gold fish, keep water clean [3] [4] and help to provide oxygen[citation needed] to man-made ponds.
Neither of these claims are backed by sources, and they contradict each other.
