  1. Yes this is called bioremediation and when you use specific plants it is phytoremediation.

    See the links for more data


  2. Wetland plants (any kind) are very good at removing fertilizers, pesticides, and other pollutants from the water.  This is because of the anaerobic bacteria that live there (they live everywhere, but are more plentiful in wetlands).  Check out the Wetland Processes and Water Quality section at http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/h2oqual/watg...

  3. it is moss and the grasses that grows along the water side, i have seen it working and controlled by scientific proof
