Abstract	This study presents the design and performance of a Floating Treatment Wetland (FTW) system for treating household greywater. Greywater from bathing, laundry, and kitchen activities contains pollutants that harm the environment if untreated. Conventional systems are costly and unsuitable for small households. A lab-scale FTW (80 × 40 × 15 cm) using Water Hyacinth was developed and tested for 15 days. Results showed 70.08% turbidity removal, 10.83% pH stabilization, and 45.56% improvement in dissolved oxygen. TDS increased due to mineral leaching, which can be corrected. The full-scale system requires about 3.31 m² area, treats 290 L/day, and costs ₹25,000–₹30,000. The study concludes that FTWs are a low-cost, eco-friendly solution for greywater treatment and reuse.
