how would nature purify water
1. PAX water mixer
The PAX Water Mixer uses efficiencies of fluid flow to provide efficient mixing of drinking water in storage tanks. This eliminates stratification, keeps disinfectant residuals actively working to maintain drinking water safety, and prevents condi...

2. Biolytix® water filter
The Biolytix® System is a compact waste treatment system that converts raw sewage, wastewater, and food waste into high quality irrigation water on site. The Biolytix® system removes solid wastes from wastewater immediately. Then selected...
3. Vortex Generator
Watreco's water treatement products use the patented Vortex Generator and the technology platform VPT (Vortex Process Technology) to create energy-efficient, low-cost solutions for several water treatment problems. The system essentially works by...
4. Aquaporin membrane technology
The Aquaporin company is focusing on mimicking the ability of lipid bilayers in biological cells to transport water back and forth across membranes by way of membrane channel proteins called aquaporins. Aquaporins can facilitate this transport wh...
5. Membrane water channels control water content of cells.
"Aquaporins are membrane water channels that play critical roles in controlling the water contents of cells. They form tetramers in the cell membrane, and facilitate the transport of water and, in some cases, other small solutes across the membran...
6. Algal turf scrubber
"Algal turf scrubbers are field-sized, water-treatment systems that can extract excess nutrients from streams, canals, and lakes polluted by agricultural, domestic, and some industrial runoff. They use sunlight as their principal source of e...
7. PAX Scientific; PAX Water Technologies; PAX Streamline; PAX Mixer; PAX Fan
Jay Harman began his quest to understand vortical fluid dynamics. The result: a new principle for generating flow that has applications ranging from pump to impellers, fans to boats. All arenas offer improved energy efficiency, smaller devices, an...
8. Capturing prey above the water's surface: archer fish
"Further animal artefacts that resemble tools include the woodpecker's anvil, a tree stump with a suitable wedgelike cavity to hold cones, the use of a water jet to shoot down prey by the archer fish (Trichogaster jaculatrix), and the Australian b...
9. Filter feeding moves water: Venus flower basket
"A sponge takes in water at its base, filtering the food from it and expelling it through holes higher up." (Courtesy of the Biomimicry Guild)
10. Body temperature regulated in hot environment: African camels
"When African camels (Camelus dromedarius) do not get enough water, their body temperature's amplitude (the difference between its highest and lowest values) increases from 3.6°F (2°C) to as much as 10.8°F (6°C)." (Shuker 2001:91)
