Systems and methods for water remediation

Abstract

A method to remediate water includes preparing a microbial solution with microbes, a growth medium, and water; iteratively and selectively breeding generations of microbes to arrive at a predeterminedmicrobial solution in a highly concentrated form of at least 1*109 cfu / ml (colony-forming units per milliliter); and dispensing the microbial solution into the water, wherein the microbes metabolizesexcess nutrients and uses microbial desalination to reduce water salinity.

Description

technical field [0001] This application is related to an application entitled "Microbial Soil Enhancers" and an application entitled "Animal Feed Enhanced Using Microorganisms", all of which were filed concurrently with this application and the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0002] The present invention relates to water body restoration. [0003] For water applications, algae blooms are one of the most common problems encountered by lake and pond owners. Not only is it aesthetically unappealing, some forms of algae can harbor potentially toxic bacteria. Conventional solutions to algal blooms, which are expensive and / or environmentally harmful, are as follows: [0004] Mechanical Intervention – Mechanical methods of algae control include removing blooms with rakes, seines, screens, or other implements. Although helpful in quickly repairing unwanted or invasive growth, mechanical control does not address the underlying conditi...
