The Eco-Machine, invented by Dr. John Todd, is a form of wastewater treatment inspired by aquatic ecosystems. "Eco-Machines accelerate nature's own water purification process. Unlike chemical-based systems, Eco-Machines incorporate helpful
bacteria, fungi, plants, snails, clams, and fish that thrive by
breaking down and digesting organic pollutants, pollutants that
normally deprive the water of oxygen. This clean, simple approach
efficiently transforms high-strength industrial wastewater and sewage
into water clean enough to be recycled for reuse" (from Todd Ecological Design, Inc.'s website).
