Water pollution caused by manure from factory farms



Creating rivers to recycle the waste


I have done quite a bit of work on recycling waste and usuing powders and liquid bacteria. The problem is the bacteria sorts the problem and then dies off.

I have also done quite a bit of work on koi ponds and one in particular which the owner just could not get stable, so I built some free flow artificial rivers with coarse broken bricks gravel and fine mud in patches and planted the course with rushes and grass

We pumped the water into a top tank and then let it run the course of the river, the whole system cleaned up in 3 days to crystal clear water
