Turning curse into cure: Potential of water hyacinth for bio-refining - A contextual investigation of Lake Tana

Water hyacinth (WH, Eichhornia crassipes, ’Emboch’ in Ethiopia) is a highly disturbing class of invasive and noxious aquatic plants found worldwide in other water bodies and as such is a prime problem in Lake Tana. One approach to successfully control the rapid invasion of WH is to utilize it as a f...
