Abstract
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a free-floating plant, which grows up to three feet in height. It has thick, waxy, rounded, glossy leaves, which rise well above the water surface on stalks. Water hyacinth is among the major problems currently facing lake Victoria which is the second-largest freshwater lake in the world by area and directly supports a population of more than 40 million East Africa’s (Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda) inhabitants. In addition to that, the lake is source of the river Nile. Navigation, eco system, fishing industry, tourism, crop production, and livestock keeping are among the socio-economic impacts resulting from invasion of water hyacinth on lake Victoria. In this paper, a manual water hyacinth harvester is constructed, tested, and analysis.
