Across India, rivers and urban waterways are under pressure from pollution and declining water quality. Clean-Water, a forward-thinking Indian startup, is addressing this challenge with floating wetlands, engineered islands made from native plants and beneficial microbes that replicate natural water purification processes.
Floating wetlands are placed on the surface of polluted water bodies, where their dense root systems absorb excess nutrients, chemicals and contaminants. As water flows through these islands, pollutants are naturally broken down, leading to improved water clarity and healthier aquatic environments. Over time, the islands support greater biodiversity and can even provide habitats for fish and birds.

This sustainable, low-maintenance approach is especially valuable for emerging markets where traditional water treatment infrastructure may be limited. Clean-Water’s floating wetlands are already demonstrating measurable improvements in water quality in Indian towns and waterways, offering a scalable model for communities worldwide. At RanMarine, we salute these innovators!
