As many of you know I really like FLOATING TREATMENT WETLANDS for many reasons like working on water streams, being in water environment, creating floating flowering gardens and obviously .... playing with the floating mats in the water surface.
Thanks to my new account on researchgate (link) I come
through a nice research in Bangladesh about the Buriganga River in the city of Dacca. It is
considered as one of the most important river in the country but, its water
quality has changed dramatically which is responsible for creating unfavourable
conditions for aquatic life and for all the people that use the river as life
environment.
Well, I also really like the big rivers in the world and I was lucky to see some of them (Tigris and Euphrates, Danube, the Nile from the plane flying to Tanzania). Water environments in a Country like Bangladesh are really important and vulnerable.
I don't want to "stole" words on internet or just copy text from this research paper and put here in this post. What I want to do is just to show you as beautiful and simple is to realize your own floating wetlands with a positive impact.
Well, I hope and I wish, that this team will take their floating system and put it into the rivers....😀💥💚💦
Take a look at this video (YT video link) about the realization of this team in Bangladesh, see the power of the root system of Phragmites and Canna in their research tank.
Here below some of the photos about their system:
Many thanks to Mr. Mohammad Tahsin Islam Resident Engineer (Civil) and his colleague for sharing with me your pictures and video
