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. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Thanks to my new account on researchgate (<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344386354_Nitrogen_removal_by_floating_constructed_wetland_Decontamination_of_the_Buriganga_River" target="_blank">link</a>) 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. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">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.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">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. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Well, I hope and I wish, that this team will take their floating system and put it into the rivers....😀💥💚💦</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Take a look at this video (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqZNPf5z4_8" target="_blank">YT video link</a>) about the realization of this team in Bangladesh, see the power of the root system of Phragmites and Canna in their research tank.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gqZNPf5z4_8" width="320" youtube-src-id="gqZNPf5z4_8"></iframe></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Here below some of the photos about their system:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgMMqJUxf31vp4Jo1kOyu3gDS8-Bi3vuPwftMuOul33C6fEbTg1pxJCUFGnuBbS1Dxr7emA6zZc8HwCH7HMXKsHmpj6Bd0kWzq-4vmwaCtz4iglZFdkf2Nm8wZbYNmqlLECRUaAcsJ000/s960/IMG_3937.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgMMqJUxf31vp4Jo1kOyu3gDS8-Bi3vuPwftMuOul33C6fEbTg1pxJCUFGnuBbS1Dxr7emA6zZc8HwCH7HMXKsHmpj6Bd0kWzq-4vmwaCtz4iglZFdkf2Nm8wZbYNmqlLECRUaAcsJ000/w400-h266/IMG_3937.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjXCvDXpxLhcVB8dv6S17y7FDE1QdFhm4ogmiii8TpjYWrR8SI3QxswqcbvDWcI23JNdJP89uWM-bUNWgN11RQsOjoKcPZnkBzx3Xb5DavwJVq28m3Ly_BxrW15RdKz6eu1kX3u8YrORI/s1280/IMG_3907.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjXCvDXpxLhcVB8dv6S17y7FDE1QdFhm4ogmiii8TpjYWrR8SI3QxswqcbvDWcI23JNdJP89uWM-bUNWgN11RQsOjoKcPZnkBzx3Xb5DavwJVq28m3Ly_BxrW15RdKz6eu1kX3u8YrORI/w400-h266/IMG_3907.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6hsj4zDpN59itlmjojD0ZFwTgnGjPo4BIz7cIc2dndMPN1Vuoo4t2MZ8t_Z4SxHu7uoHVJXBvLNWdvsIDuly9WjUHI8WWyfnff6wLUdTe6F9vP5ZjG0XH_OstbL2KGgXr3JSCBYPspNg/s960/IMG_3933.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="640" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6hsj4zDpN59itlmjojD0ZFwTgnGjPo4BIz7cIc2dndMPN1Vuoo4t2MZ8t_Z4SxHu7uoHVJXBvLNWdvsIDuly9WjUHI8WWyfnff6wLUdTe6F9vP5ZjG0XH_OstbL2KGgXr3JSCBYPspNg/w266-h400/IMG_3933.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYdpnALl_xXxHZaWDRygwuhcIxlI5t4Egph9PySSDJ7hJusxb8QLsqosALNZ0m8IVOvniaha_Xx3ekyWdCYQlwAbuzBH2JuEjRnfFyPl72Mncfr76Ter72KiKarEbq3ma4QIpfqCORvKc/s1280/IMG_3906.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYdpnALl_xXxHZaWDRygwuhcIxlI5t4Egph9PySSDJ7hJusxb8QLsqosALNZ0m8IVOvniaha_Xx3ekyWdCYQlwAbuzBH2JuEjRnfFyPl72Mncfr76Ter72KiKarEbq3ma4QIpfqCORvKc/w400-h266/IMG_3906.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #500050; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Many thanks to Mr. Mohammad Tahsin Islam </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #500050; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Resident Engineer (Civil) and his colleague for sharing with me your pictures and video</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><p></p><br /><p></p>Dave Toc PhDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07799979319758254619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206651144487859029.post-39410779968451987502019-08-22T07:23:00.001-04:002019-08-22T07:23:41.526-04:00the biggest treatment wetlands is in the desertI have always follow positively the project in Oman by Bauer gmbh where dr.

We went in the project site in El Chibaish, we went in Nasiriyah, Babilon and Baghdad. The full agenda hallowed us to meet a lot of stakeholders and authority like the member of the Center for the Restoration of Iraqi Marshland and Wetlands, the Ministry of Water Resource, the Iraqi Ambassador in Netherland. Many people tell us that this is the right moment to do the project. And here we are ready since 2013!<br />

Before our realization here the wastewater were discharged in a natural watercourse without any forms of treatment. The factory is located at 3000 m asl (more or less).<br />

Three sons and a positive summer time keep me off of this blog... I hope you are all ok!<br />
<br />
Last September I was in Ecuador to visit some of the plants that I have built with my friend and partner Andrea and to meet a lot of interesting persons. Thanks to them we are now designing a lot of new treatment wetlands for municipality, pig farms and cheese factories.<br />
Here below some pictures of the system I have projected last year and realized by Andrea Zorzi. It is planted with vetiver... the miracle plants!<br />

Do you remember my idea of <b>Guerrilla Gardening </b>becoming Guerrilla Wetlanding? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, last week, with the help of the municipality of <b>Desenzano del Garda </b>and the friendship of the <b>Lega Navale of Brescia-Desenzano </b>I was able to plant more than 200 plants of our loved Phragmites. Was not the real concept of Guerrilla but I worked under a real funding project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Within the ecological network idea we planted a new reedland (...or a new wetland as you prefer!) to connect the inland to the waters, in the shore of the Garda's Lake in Italy. The biggest lake in Italy and South of Europe.</span><br />
