A Natural Method of River Restoration A river is a complex body
of water. When most people think of rivers and streams, they
think of water moving rapidly and flowing freely. However, what
is not as well known is that beneath the surface of a river is a
stagnate body of water. A graph of velocity vectors of river
water is parabolic, with zero flow at the bottom and maximum
flow at the surface. The surface water of a river is oxygenated
by the atmosphere, while the bottom water area is usually near-
zero mg/l dissolved oxygen. To aid in river improvement and
restore water quality, a river restoration inversion system is
necessary to bring river water from the bottom to the surface.
CLEAN-FLO International has developed a water restoration
process for river improvement and stream restoration that brings
river water from the bottom of a river to the surface, so that
the entire river is oxygenated by the system and the atmosphere.
Toxic gases along the bottom are then neutralized and foul odors
quickly disappear.
