In recent years the disposal of wastes from domestic, agricultural and industrial sources has severely affected our ecosystem. Primarily, the untreated effluents are released to water bodies, making them unfit for any use. Water crisis seen across the globe has to be dealt in a priority basis. Reusability of water can be a suitable alternative to circumvent this alarming situation. Nevertheless with the help of several scientific tools waste water may be converted to usable form, but it is interesting to note that some plants also have the ability to remove pollutants from water bodies. This process of removing pollutants from waste water with the help of plants is called Phytoremediation extensively. There are some specific hydrophytes exists that decreases the toxicity level in the water bodies. The breakthrough benefit of phytoremediation process is largely due to its cost effectiveness and eco-friendly approach. The biggest add-on advantage of this process is the reuse of hydrophytes for vermicomposting resulting in enhanced soil fertility. Phytoremediation can be pulled up along with the vermicomposting scheme so that the entire process can contribute for sustainable agricultural practices. This review primarily highlights the process of phytoremediation and its applicability in the vermicomposting process for usability in the agricultural sector.
