A stormwater treatment system and method for removing sediment, chemical pollutants, and debris from stormwater runoff by utilizing bioretention practices including physical, chemical and biological processes. Stormwater is directed into a primarily open-bottomed, multi-dimensional container whereby entrained sediment and other transportable materials are filtered and treated through a media filter layer consisting of inorganic and/or organic materials. A live plant (preferably a tree) situated within the container with roots resident in the media filter layer with the ability for expansion beyond the perimeter of the container through openings in one or more sidewalls. The treated water may be further conveyed beyond the perimeter of the container by additional openings and/or piping. A vertically positioned overflow/bypass/clean out piping apparatus may be included within the stormwater treatment system to provide additional water conveyance. Additional ancillary conveyance, filtration and storage facilities may be connected to the described stormwater treatment system as conditions warrant.

A water treatment system for a recirculation aquaculture facility, related method and uses thereof are provided. The water treatment system included a water pre-treatment facility and a groundwater recharge arrangement, wherein the water treatment system forms a primary recirculation flow pathway when integrated with the recirculation aquaculture facility, thereupon effluent discharged from the recirculation aquaculture facility is sequentially directed through and back into the recirculation aquaculture facility via a water collecting circuit network to enter the recirculation aquaculture facility as an influent. The secondary recirculation flow pathway is formed internally within the recirculation aquaculture facility.

A horizontal flow water treatment method and wetland biofilter apparatus provides a chamber with impermeable outer walls spaced away from permeable interior walls of a media filtration bed such that a catch basin is formed between the outer walls and the interior walls. The catch basin creates an open area around the perimeter of the interior walls for influent water to fill within the open area before penetrating the filtration media, providing a large surface area for influent water to interact with the media filtration bed. The influent water enters the catch basin in a horizontal flow path to provide for pre-settling of particulates before making contact with the filtration media. The biofilter design increases the available surface area of the media filtration bed by up to four times for a given volume of water, and thereby minimizes the loading or infiltration rate on the media filtration bed.

A liquid treatment system is provided having a vault that contains a treatment chamber and an outflow chamber. The treatment chamber may have a filtration media layer containing media that treats liquid as it descends through the filtration media layer, where it will accumulate in a porous layer or open space. The liquid will then be directed through the plurality of pipes to the outflow chamber, where the treated liquid is further directed to outside the system. Accumulated debris settled at the bottom of the treatment chamber may be flushed out by a spray bar.

It discloses to a device and a method for controlling pollutants in metal mine water resources cycling utilization. The device includes a multi-stage inflow constructed wetland (3), in which one or more layers of the filler are laid, and water distribution pipes (4) are buried at different height levels in the filler layers for multi-stage inflow, so that the received basin water is allowed to flow through each layer of the filler to degrade or remove the pollutants. In the multi-stage inflow constructed wetland, the types of fillers, dosage ratio, particle size and filling height of fillers in each layer are specifically selected. Therefore, heavy metal adsorption, suspended matter filtration, organic matter degradation, dephosphorization and denitrification can be effectively realized in the multi-stage inflow constructed wetland.

The present invention relates to a method and a device for controlling pollutants in basin water resources cycling utilization in agricultural activity areas. The method includes: providing an acidification tank, an aeration tank and a multi-media constructed wetland connected in sequence, which are 4˜10 m far from basin revetment, feeding basin water into the constructed wetland, adsorbing or degrading heavy metals and organic pollutants by the constructed wetland, and then transporting the treated basin water to the agricultural activity areas. The present invention effectively controls the content of heavy metals that will enter the agricultural activity areas, fundamentally reduces the content of heavy metals in the crops, promotes the growth of the crops, maintains sustainable and healthy development of agriculture, and therefore guarantees human health and safety.

A scalable phytoremediation system that uses rock medium supporting a Salicaceae (poplar or willow) tree rhizosphere in a basin with controllable volume and water depth that results in tertiary treatment requirements for organic BOD, pathogens, ammonia-nitrogen, nitrate-nitrogen and phosphorous pollutants and PFAS. COC removal is achieved by pollutant sorption, plant uptake and increased microbial mineralization activity. Phyto basin achieves faster pollutant mineralization to achieve regulated water quality standards. The Basin reactor system uses photosynthesis and rhizosphere dynamics to create a predictable reactor into carbon-rich microbial biomass to remove waste water pollutants (COC). The Basin uses <10% of the energy required for alternative tertiary treatment system. The Basin COC treatment functions year-round including through the trees dormant season.

Methods, apparatus, and systems involving high aspect ratio conduits are provided. These may involve a plurality of high aspect ratio leaching channels that may be spaced a predetermined distance apart from each other. The predetermined distance can facilitate backfilling of the volumes of adjacent high aspect ratio leaching channels. The backfill may be sand as well as other materials.

A surface water mitigation structure suitable for use in the storage and treatment of contaminated surface water runoff. The runoff is processed through a multi-layered filtration and treatment system wherein the first layer is one or more permeable layers that is pervious enough to allow liquid runoff to pass through it and into a porous storage medium second layer that includes one or more remediating agents, and wherein the effluent from the surface water mitigation structure can be discharged to the ground, the surface, and/or a drainage system reduced or free of contaminants.

Systems and methods of restoring a lake including dredging, island creation, water treatment, real estate development, computer modeling of environmental conditions, wave height reduction, sediment removal and encapsulation, bathymetry contouring, littoral zone restoration, plant restoration, and/or fish restoration.
