Water Filtration

Biological Filtration System

To combat the poor water quality in the most inner parts of False Creek, we want to add a biological filtration system on the shoreline. This system will take in polluted seawater, and filter it through a set of tanks consisting of aquatic plants and bacteria, mimicking natural marshlands. The clean water will then be pumped back into False Creek.
