Free-floating aquatic plants such as duckweed inhabit diverse water bodies both natural and constructed (or artificial).

This type of plants also have nutritional properties that make it a potential candidate to be used as a food supplement or biomass production. Likewise, duckweeds have been used for wastewater treatment in several places worldwide.

In this video four different water bodies are shown where duckweed can be seen in each of them. This vegetation turns green the color of the water surface creating a green mat. This layer of aquatic plants can in some cases, fully covers the water surface such as shown in the minute 1:42.
