The natural or manmade water bodies in and near the settlements play very important role in improvement and conservation of local environment but many of them are on the way of eutrophication. This problem needs an urgent and sincere attention of environmentalists. The pollution due to heavy metal ions, pesticides and fertilizers has been investigated and analyzed by using atomic absorption spectrometer and Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry. The present study focuses on the determination of heavy metal ions from aquatic plants so as to evaluate its curative power as well as extraction method of pesticides from water and its determination using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Nearly 11 pesticides have been found in ppb level. The curative power and remediation of pesticide residues and heavy metal ions using microbial culture has also been tried and reported.
