Advancing Water Quality Management Using Hybrid Ecotechnological Approaches

Abstract: Making sure our water is good quality is really important, especially since we need different ways to improve it.. One way to do this is by using artificial floating wetlands (AFW). The importance of aquatic plants, animals, and microbes in AFW for cleaning and disinfecting water is also discussed. Constructed wetlands are increasingly recognized as sustainable systems that combine natural ecological processes with engineered design. Their long-term performance depends on adapting the setup to local environmental conditions, maintaining the structures regularly, and ensuring they work in harmony with wider water management practices. While not a universal substitute for conventional treatment, they represent a strategic, long-term solution for improving water quality, enhancing ecosystems, and supporting community-level environmental goals. In conclusion, more viewpoints regarding artificial float islands were identified in order to improve their performance. This research emphasizes how important it is to comprehend the mechanisms in AFW that drive the removal of various contaminants to improve water quality.  Ultrasonic therapy is an eco-friendly method that could help control algal blooms. It works by breaking apart the cells without needing any chemicals.. Its greatest potential lies in targeted, small-to-medium scale applications or in combination with other treatment methods, rather than as a universal replacement for conventional algal management strategies. On the other hand, a hybrid system, combining ultrasonic algal disruption with artificial wetlands, offers a complementary, eco-technological solution to water quality management. Blooms can be quickly and precisely controlled with ultrasound. This integration positions it as a strategic method for eutrophic water bodies dealing with recurrent algal bloom issues because it not only improves treatment efficiency but also guarantees increased sustainability, resilience, and safety. According to the research in the present work, a hybrid system of combining Artificial floating wetland models with Ultrasonic algal bloom treatment modules is shown. The efficient layout to combine these systems is to use a ratio of ultrasonic modules to AWF modules of 1:21.
