Some embodiments relate to a boom for containing floating material spilled in water comprising: an elongate sheet comprising a plurality of spaced apart units, each unit configured to self-expand from a folded state upon deployment; each unit comprising: a plurality of plates forming an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion and the lower portion defined along a vertical axis of the boom unit; and a plurality of stiffening elongate rods, each of the plurality of elongate rods interconnecting at least two plates.

A floatable, portable and readily deployable apparatus used in a surface water body for the collection, mixing, separation, containment and removal of total solids from fluid in surface water by settling, sorption, floatation or filtration of total solids from fluid entering or pumped into the apparatus. Separation of total solids from fluid can include the use and recycling of commercially available or proprietary biologic, chemical and/or physical substances and processes to increase the rate and percentage of total solids removed from fluid in the apparatus.

The present invention relates to a device for collecting runoff water, comprises body section having an open inlet at its upper part and an interior space for accommodating runoff water, and a buoyant member installed inside the body section, which floats due to buoyancy generated by the runoff water introduced into the body section. When the buoyant member, floated by the runoff water introduced into the body section, seals the open upper surface of the body section, the inlet includes a cap member with a vertically penetrating opening. The device according to the present invention, due to its structure, is a convenient and efficient tool for collecting runoff water. In particular, it can collect only a predetermined amount of runoff water during rainfall while blocking additional inflow, making it highly effective for applications requiring the collection of initial runoff water.

An embodiment includes detecting by a Scanner Component an object in a body of water. The embodiment includes responsive to the detecting the object in a body of water, computing by a Compute Component an object metric and a water metric. The embodiment includes training a machine learning model by a Machine Learning Component based on the object metric and the water metric to generate a predicted bubble barrier metric. The embodiment includes determining a deployment parameter of a bubble barrier by a Simulator Component based on the predicted bubble barrier metric, the object metric and the water metric. The embodiment also includes deploying by a Controller Component the bubble barrier in the body of water based on the deployment parameter.
