There is disclosed a method of improving water quality, the method comprising adding a pool of isolated Daphnia to a body of water such that the pool of isolated Daphnia is exposed to one or more contaminants which may be in the water. The pool of isolated Daphnia comprise Daphnia which have been resurrected from dormant Daphnia. The pool of isolated Daphnia are allowed to filter from the body of water at least a portion of said one or more contaminants to reduce the level of the one or more contaminants in the body of water. After a period of time, at least a portion of the Daphnia containing said one or more contaminants are removed from the body of water, thereby improving the water quality of the body of water.

The Invention discloses an ecological remediation method for controlling sulphur pollution in black and odorous sludge of rivers. Firstly, the sludge from pollution layer of the rivers will be dredged and stacked on the banksides with slope protection built along the outer edge of the sludge storage site; then innocent pretreatment will be conducted for the sludge. Specific steps comprise solarization and ploughing, and mixed ameliorant of certain proportion will be added for modification between first solarization and intermittent ploughing. Then, large emergent aquatic plants will be planted on the stacked sludge after pretreatment. The technical method provided by the Invention may control the release of acid-volatile sulfide in the contaminated sludge on one hand and reduce concentration of volatile organic sulfide in the waters on the other hand. With simple technical process and strong operable technology, the Invention meets the current requirements for controlling sulphur pollution in black and odorous sludge of rivers in China and facilitates realizing the goal of long-term control of sulphur pollution in the deposit of the waters.

Managed ecosystems, methods for producing managed ecosystems and methods for using managed ecosystems for sequestering carbon dioxide are described herein. Produced water is obtained and purified to sustain a managed ecosystem with saline-tolerant vegetation. The managed ecosystem biologically sequesters carbon dioxide by photosynthetically absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and by decomposition into a layer of sediment on the ecosystem floor.

An ecosystem for deep water environment restoration includes: a light-collecting device; an underwater lighting system connected to the light-collecting device and configured to provide light to a deep water layer of a water body; a photocatalytic bionic net comprising a photocatalytic material and a fiber and placed in the deep water layer; and an aquatic plant. When the photocatalytic material receives the light, the photocatalytic material is able to adsorb organic pollutants of the water body to the photocatalytic bionic net and catalyze degradation of the organic pollutants of the water body, concentrate microorganisms to allow the microorganisms to decompose the organic pollutants into nutrients required for growth of the aquatic plant, and absorb the light to catalyze decomposition of water to produce oxygen. When the aquatic plant receives the light, the aquatic plant is able to perform photosynthesis to release oxygen.
