Aquatic plants purify urban pollution and can also bring good feng shui

Introduction: Purifying water quality by planting aquatic plants makes use of the property of many aquatic plants, especially aquatic vascular plants, to absorb large amounts of nutrients or degrade and convert toxic and harmful substances into non-toxic substances. Now follow the editor to take a look at how aquatic plants purify pollution and create good urban feng shui.

In wastewater or polluted natural water bodies, large numbers of pollution-tolerant aquatic higher plants with strong purification capacity are planted, so that through their own life activities they decompose and convert pollutants in the water or accumulate them in their bodies, and then remove them, restoring the nutrient balance in the water area; at the same time, through the photosynthesis of aquatic plants, oxygen is released, increasing the dissolved oxygen content in the water, thereby improving water quality and reducing or eliminating water pollution.

There are mainly two treatment methods for the purification function of aquatic plants, namely purification ponds and constructed wetland systems. The constructed wetland system is another development direction for using aquatic plants to treat sewage, because of its low construction and operation costs, simple maintenance, good results, and the fact that it provides habitat for many wild animals.

A purification pond is a special aquatic ecosystem composed of a certain aquatic plant that occupies an absolute advantage. This system achieves the purification effect on sewage through the physical effects of the aquatic plant community such as interception, sedimentation, and adsorption, as well as the absorption and accumulation effects of the plants themselves.

Aquatic plants can effectively purify eutrophic water bodies, improve the self-purification capacity of water bodies, and turn "dead water" into "living water." Through the reasonable configuration of different types of aquatic plants, the landscape layers of the water body can be enriched, creating a beautiful artistic conception, and the application prospects are very broad.
