MARSH FILTRATIONSome plants absorb pollutants as water flows through their roots. By changing a river’s flow from one that is straight to a wide “S’ shape it works towards the cleaning of the river water by giving more time for water molecules to bump into the roots of the
reeds; it slows down the flow of water, giving more time for those water molecules to encounter the phragmite’s rhizomes; and it also gives more surface area for the reeds to occupy and therefor more roots to absorb pollutants from the river. By transforming the environment into a meandering wetland, chemicals fertilizers and other unwanted substances, carried by the river, can be mostly removed from the environment as they are absorbed by the plants. |
MAINTENANCE: No maintenance is required.
CONSTRUCTION TIME: This is a long term project with long term goals. It’s possible that one person could do it alone but since the end result would benefit a community, a community would also be helpful for the construction. This project is a massive undertaking which will change the landscape.
