WATER IS ALIVE | Bioremediation for a healthier planet.

A WIN-WIN-WIN SCENARIO

Who doesn’t like clean, fresh water; healthful air; nutrient-rich soil; and a vibrant, diverse habitat?

As science continues to prove to us, these things are continually under threat due to systems and powers that allow for an abuse of contaminants that put every one of us at risk of poor health and wellbeing.

We have the power, resources, and know-how to implement sustainable practices on both a personal and corporate level with real results in almost real time. Not sometime in the future or when policies finally call for reductions.

The ultimate mission of Water Is Alive is to drive positive action via measurable, proven results. We call it a Win-Win-Win For All. We’re using science to employ realistic, healthy, and scalable immediate solutions to bioremediate (aka “clean up”) our waterways and soil so that we can all enjoy a life of harmony, abundance, and regeneration.

For businesses, investing in and reporting on Environmental governance and remediation has become an important part of business life. Our work aligns perfectly with helping companies and organizations realize their sustainability goals (ESG) while reducing costs across a number of areas – most notably in the revitalization of the vast agriculture and manufacturing sectors of our economy.

PLEASE DONATE TO FUND OUR WORK AND OUR DOCUMENTARY PROJECT!

While we receive minimal grants for our work, we rely on the support of engaged citizens like you to fund our on-the-ground work! Please donate today and we’ll keep you up-to-date with our steady progress, solutions, partnerships, and information on what you can do. Want to be part of our film? We’re also working on a documentary project and would love to count you as one of our citizen producers with a donation!

As of Fall 2023, we have received a large grant from the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). The United Nations has also recognized our invaluable work to augment their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Please see some of our Projects & News below!

At the heart of our work is…

the billions-of-years-old fact that the power to metabolize pollution is ‘alive’ in many microorganisms. Water Is Alive is continuing work to prove that we can use food grade microorganisms grown on organic waste & agricultural by-products to clean up contamination — AT SCALE.

Our biological remediation (bioremediation) process utilizes pre-consumer fruit and vegetable organic wastes as the carrier substrates of beneficial microorganisms that can break down nutrients and contaminants that lead to surface and ground water impairments. Translation: Single celled microbes will eat fruits and chemicals!

We have positive results from The Trinity River Bioremediation Project as well as bio-filtration methods which can be applied to any impaired waterway. Fresh, clean water is the most important resource in our lives. And it our mission to make sure it’s available and abundant for current and future generations.

Water Is Alive also provides educational services and resources.

Anaerobic fermentation of organic wastes on small, medium and large scale, remediation of soil and water utilizing organic wastes, resources on permitting for waterway and Brownfield remediation, research collaboration efforts and partnerships.

We have years of work to get permits in order to demonstrate viable bioremediation and would love to share our knowledge and resources. Remediation is usually very expensive and we can help make your project more affordable and viable!

Inspiring action locally and globally

Join us in learning how to apply these natural remedies to clean up our many brownfields (a.k.a. contaminated plots of land) and our impaired waterways. We can start as soon as today to clean up pollution together.

About Bioremediation

Bioremediation has been happening on Earth for 3.5 billion years. Since the existence of the first single-celled organisms on earth over 3.5 billion years ago, microorganisms have been eating hazardous compounds and breaking them down. This is one of the oldest natural technologies and can be strategically applied to include the clean-up of modern environmental contamination. Romans applied microorganisms to clean their wastewater. This form of bioremediation is documented as early as 600 BC.

Activities We Can All Do Today to Improve Water & Soil Quality

Bokashi Composting

We can all Bokashi compost! This is composting in an air-tight bucket. The compost does not rot because you spray or inoculate it with microorganisms. Effective, live organisms! It is a pre-composting fermentation process. Use this compost to restore depleted or contaminated soil.

Grow Mushrooms

Many species of mushrooms can break down contaminants in the environment. This species, Pleurotus Ostreatus, is the gourmet “Oyster Mushroom” and are ready to break down e coli and contaminats in the water and soil!

Build Biofilters

Floating Mushroom Bio-filter

Burlap filled with food grade microorganisms growing on agricultural by products! A cost-effective way to put the river on a slow-release dose of pollution eating bacteria and mushrooms.
