Advancing the Development of Floating Solar-Powered Nanobubble Aeration Systems for Use With Floating Treatment Wetlands in Natural and Man-Made Waterbodies.
SBC: Floating Island International, Inc. Topic: 16cMany freshwater lakes suffer from Harmful Algal Blooms driven largely by nutrient pollution, leading to widespread loss of aquatic life through oxygen deprivation. An associated issue is generation of methane in such lakes, contributing a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Both of these situations urgently need complete water column aeration as part of prevention ...
