Does anyone have any funding sources to whom I could write a research
proposal too and investigate the performance of my floating wetlands?
I have talked to several researchers who feel that this is a viable
approach but I need to put numbers to this concept.
Lawrence thanks for the observation. I too think that this is like a
chinampas from Mexico City. I would also like to build islands and
actually use the sediment that is in the body of water to cover the
island with to grow crops, improve water quality, and increase
fishery productivity. All of that could be achieved without the
addition of nutrients from outside the loop since it would already be
in the lake sediment.
We could do a project like this in Lake Jordan. A large floating farm
that increases the quality of the fishery and improves water quality.
It would be pretty cool.
