Originally from the Amazon, it is now present in 50 countries. Water hyacinth is an aquatic plant that reproduces at high speed. In some places, especially in Africa, it causes the lakes to dry up and causes the risk of flooding. But this plant has ecological virtues. It can absorb 10 times its weight in hydrocarbons and is highly coveted for energy transformation projects.
