Yes, there are several methods for cleaning polluted water sources that involve the use of plants and special filtration systems. Innovative ways to purify water include constructed wetlands, which are filters composed of artificial laminae where contaminated water is filtered through an aerobic granular media; subsurface flow wetlands, which utilize a series of small basins containing grasses and other vegetaion that filter contaminants out of water; and phytotechnology systems, which rely on the absorption capabilities of certain types of aquatic plants to rid harmful materials from wastewater.

Yes, plants and special filtration systems such as biological filters, sand filters and slow-sandfilters can be used to clean polluted water sources. Additionally, oxidizing agents like hydrogen peroxide, chemical floating sedimentation basins and adsorption techniques with powdered carbon or iron salts can be used for water purification.
