•Nickel Lateritic soils have very fine sediments (63microns)
•Siltation in the run-off water is mitigated by employing
siltation ponds and silt traps.

Why Vetiver?
The dense root system of the Vetiver grass has
been used for soil erosion control, agriculture, and
for waste and sewage treatment with significantly
increasing research on its capability to absorb
heavy metals and toxic wastes.

Scope and Limitation
• The study intends to show only the capacity of
the Vetiver Root System to trap and
accumulate silt in recirculated water and
quantify its effectivity.

Conclusion
System 1 and 3 - The amount of total silt
accumulated in the main reservoir relatively
increased as compared to no Vetivers at all.
System 2 – The amount of Vetiver rows introduced
into the system is proportional to the amount of
accumulated silt.

Conclusion
Statistically significant differences were observed
between the no vetiver system and the vetiver-present
system

Recommendation
The researchers recommend that a further and more
comprehensive study be conducted involving:
•More species of plants
•Industrial silt barriers such as Geotextiles
•Optimum time to allow saturation of silt barrier
•Perform the experiment in the actual mine set-up
