Here we are all the same. Try this instead.
The crazy thing is that is the top 100. There are a ton more. These are just the big ones. At any rate stay tuned after to see a great and PROFITABLE solution. Here is your list of the top 100 pollutants in the Mississippi River.
This list highlights a wide variety of pollutants, but the actual chemicals present may vary based on location and upstream activities along the Mississippi River.
How is that for a list of gross and scary? It sure makes it a lot more obvious why there is such a large dead zone at the mouth of the Mississippi river. The good news is that the way to clean up a good portion of it is both fairly simple and profitable.
The short and sweet version of that process is called the River Refugium Project. Basically what we will do is imitate a swamp. We will pull heavily polluted river water into our system, we will use a series of natural processes to filter the water. The main process will be using plant growth to consume the immense nutrient load this river carries. That plant will provide the primary product produced by the facility. All vegetative waste from the aquaponic farm is mixed with the remaining water and run through a series of Hydro Thermal Carbonization systems to harvest additional chemical products from them before separating the biochar and the clean water that will be tested and returned to the river. For more details on all of that, check out the page River Refugium Project. There are a bunch of articles there that explain the process in depth.

The HTC process alone can remove 70-80% of the pollutants from the water. Coupled with the refugium and PRODUCTIVE aquaponic grow systems we should be able to above the 90% mark.
Imagine our rivers having only 1/10 the pollution they currently do, while producing cotton in a way that doesn’t destroy the soil, returns the industry to the American South, and will produce multiple side products depending on the local pollution levels and concentrations.
We can do it, and I would like to; so how about making a donation to the Cernunnos Foundation so we can get this thing rolling.
