many of the superfund sites have utilised cattails to purify the drainage areas at the contaminatated sites. one site has 4 1 acre cattail fields that the water passes through. the exiting water has been tested and all the impurities they find at the inlet to the fields have been removed.

didnt know that. but no worries, all mine are back in a little slough in the woods. ;D

Hyacinths will do it also. In fact quite a few years ago, the NASA guys were considering taking some to the space station, to purify the waste water, and ferment them, and use the gas for powering a generator. They did the same type of testing, in an acre sized pond. The water flowing in had heavy metals in in it, and the water flowing out had none. 8)

wayne do you mean the spring hyacinth. thats awesome
stickbender:
Jamie, as far as I know it was just the plain ol water Hyacinth. The kind that has the pretty Blueish, flowers, on a stalk, when it blooms. There is no lack of them down here. In fact, if there is water, there more than likely are cattails, and hyacinths in it. If not, it won't be long, before there is. The Sea Cows, or manatees love em. :-* :P
