A Startup From Indore Works To Clean Water Bodies

Across India more than thousands of lake, ponds and river are polluted by mixture of sewage, pollutants etc. They are leading to cause different kind of diseases.
But one startup from Indore is leading a quiet revolution in restoring these water bodies—without chemicals, heavy machinery, or expensive infrastructure.
Meet Clean Water: a nature-based solution that’s reviving dead lakes using 3 powerful innovations:
- Floating Wetlands – These artificial islands host plants whose roots, along with bio-media, absorb up to 90% of pollutants—including heavy metals like lead and arsenic. They look like gardens but work like powerful water filters.
- Solar-Powered Aerators – Shaped like lotus flowers, these oxygenate the water just like fish tanks, helping aquatic life thrive again. They’re fully solar, theft-proof, and run day and night without electricity costs.
Microbial Cultures – A mix of eco-friendly bacteria that break down sludge, remove foul smell, reduce algae, and keep nutrients in check—starving invasive species like water hyacinth.
The results?
- Indore’s Annapurna Lake—once full of sewage—now meets drinking water standards.
- Delhi’s Hauz-e-Shamsi—once infested with hyacinth—is now clean and thriving.
- Lakes in Gujarat, Bangalore, Tamil Nadu and more have been brought back to life.
This isn’t just a startup. It’s a blueprint for clean, decentralized water restoration that every city can adopt.
