Lake restoration projects may involve civil works such as:
However, Clean-Water does not directly undertake civil construction or cleaning work. We focus on water quality improvement products and solutions. If required, these civil activities are generally carried out by specialized contractors.
No.
Although we built STPs in the early years of our company, we no longer design or construct conventional sewage treatment plants. Our complete focus today is on water body rejuvenation.
No.
We no longer work on sewage treatment plants (STPs) or wastewater treatment plant upgrades. Our focus is exclusively on water body rejuvenation.
No.
We used to build DEWATS-based sewage treatment systems in the early years of the company, but we have completely exited that business. Today, our focus is entirely on water body rejuvenation.
No.
We currently do not operate in the rainwater harvesting sector.
Yes.
We provide Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMCs) and can also undertake multi-year Operation & Maintenance (O&M) contracts whenever required.
Ideally, we prefer the client to remove Water Hyacinth before handing over the project.
However, if required, we can also undertake Water Hyacinth removal through our team or partners. As a general estimate, the cost is approximately ₹3 lakh per acre, depending on site conditions and project requirements.
Yes.
Apart from Water Hyacinth (Jalkumbhi), we also help manage invasive aquatic plants such as Duckweed and Azolla, depending on the site conditions and project requirements.
Yes.
We work on all types of freshwater bodies, including temple ponds, urban lakes, village ponds, reservoirs, and similar ecosystems.
Yes.
We provide water body rejuvenation solutions for residential societies, educational campuses, industries, resorts, institutions, and other properties with freshwater bodies.
However, we do not provide STPs or rainwater harvesting systems for these facilities.
Yes.
Our solutions are suitable for both urban and rural freshwater bodies and can be adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions.
No,
we do not specialise in treating heavy industrial wastewater. Our expertise is in treating freshwater bodies affected by municipal sewage, agricultural runoff, and other organic pollutants.
Our expertise is in improving the quality of freshwater bodies.
We can work on industrial retention ponds and wastewater holding ponds, provided the wastewater falls within the range our biological solutions can treat. However, we do not undertake the design or construction of industrial Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs).
Yes.
Our solutions are biological and nature-based. We do not rely on chemical treatment for improving water quality. Wherever applicable, we use biological processes and natural ecosystems to restore freshwater bodies.
Yes.
Our solutions are biological and nature-based. We do not rely on chemical treatment for improving water quality. Wherever applicable, we use biological processes and natural ecosystems to restore freshwater bodies.
Yes.
All of our treatment solutions are biological and nature-based. We do not rely on chemical treatment for restoring water bodies.
Yes.
We undertake the restoration of polluted lakes, ponds, wetlands, and other freshwater ecosystems using our water body rejuvenation solutions.
Yes, we can provide end-to-end lake restoration support. However, our primary role is as a product manufacturer. We generally prefer to focus on supplying, installing, commissioning, and maintaining our products, while collaborating with specialised contractors for civil works whenever required.
We do not directly undertake desilting or sludge removal.
If a client requires these services, we coordinate with our trusted partner organisations and contractors who specialise in desilting works.
We generally do not undertake civil beautification works such as constructing walkways, installing lighting, landscaping, or similar infrastructure.
However, we can install floating fountains wherever they contribute to improving water quality.
We can coordinate with landscape contractors as part of a larger project, but we do not undertake landscape development ourselves. Our role remains focused on ecological restoration and water quality improvement.
No.
We do not undertake plantation or green belt development as a standalone service. Our expertise is focused on improving the water body itself.
No.
Our expertise is focused on improving the quality of existing water bodies. We do not provide watershed management or catchment area improvement services.
No.
We do not undertake stormwater management or drainage improvement projects. Our focus is on water body rejuvenation and improving water quality.
Yes.
We provide ultrasonic algal control systems along with our biological treatment solutions to manage algae growth and enhance overall water quality and clarity.
Yes.
Addressing foul smell, black water, and poor water quality is one of our core areas of expertise. Our biological and nature-based solutions are specifically designed to improve these conditions.
Yes.
Our microbial treatment solutions are specifically designed to reduce nutrient pollution. In many of our projects, nitrogen and phosphorus levels have reduced significantly, often reaching below detectable limits in post-treatment water quality reports.
Yes.
Our biological treatment solutions, aeration systems, and floating wetlands work together to improve dissolved oxygen levels. As water quality improves, the aquatic ecosystem naturally becomes healthier and more sustainable.
Yes.
We provide both solar-powered and grid-powered aeration systems to improve dissolved oxygen levels and support aquatic ecosystem health.
Yes.
We install aeration equipment, including floating fountains wherever appropriate, to improve oxygen transfer and enhance water quality.
Yes.
We design and manufacture floating wetlands and other nature-based treatment systems. Depending on the project, these can be used as part of a wastewater polishing or treatment solution.
Yes.
We select native aquatic plant species suitable for the local geography and ecosystem. Our team installs these plants as part of our floating wetland systems.
