      abstract = {Macrophytes have emerged as a cost-effective, eco-friendly and sustainable solutions to enhance water quality by effectively removing nutrients. The study focused on assessing the effectiveness of water hyacinth and scurvy weed for the treatment of brewery wastewater in Kaduna. Three artificial wetlands (for water hyacinth, scurvy weed, and both plants combined) were developed, each measuring 0.43 m by 0.93 m by 0.36 m in width, length, and depth, respectively, to replicate natural conditions. The percentage removal of various parameters, including pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Turbidity, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Phosphorus, Nitrate, Ammonia, Sulphate, Copper, Zinc, Iron and Lead were analysed. The result showed that water hyacinth was more effective in reducing 31% pH, 66% EC, 66% TDS, and 100% copper while scurvy weed was more efficient in reducing 99% Turbidity, 79% COD, 77% BOD. The set up of the two plants combined performed more effectively in reducing (100%) zinc similar to water hyacinth and (93%) sulphate similar to scurvy weed. All the setups were effective in reducing Ammonia, Nitrate and Total Phosphorus by 100%. The result showed that all the considered parameters were all within the allowable range/limit of NESREA under National Environmental (Food, Beverage and Tobacco sector) regulation 2023},
