, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to water management systems and more particularly relates to an automated floating mobile filtration, mineralization, and aeration system for managing water treatment process and regulating aquaculture in water bodies.

BACKGROUND

Water treatment and/or management is a global issue and majority depends on wastewater treatment/management or governing bodies to solve the problems associated therewith. Industrial growth has created a severe damage to the small water bodies (such as lakes, ponds, and the like) as well as large water bodies (such as oceans, rivers and the like). However, small water bodies are more effected as compared to larger ones. However, in recent past, huge water bodies have been severely affected and have damaged the aquatic life. Particularly, small water bodies are major resources of drinking and therefore degraded health of small water bodies is a serious issue as compared to the large water bodies. However, treatment process requirement is similar in both the small and large water bodies.

Furthermore, research and techniques have been developed to solve the above-mentioned problems such as waste management equipment in ponds, lakes, and rivers. Sewage treatment plants have also been deployed for aeration, mineralization, and the like to purposefully treat the water in the water bodies. Conventionally, peddled devices, aerators have been implemented to remove the contaminants and sewage from the water bodies. Furthermore, sewage treatment plants are deployed with screening and feed pumps, reverse osmosis, and the like to treat the water. However, there are limitations with the conventional water treatment and aeration systems to cover large are and involvement of multiple equipment for various processes increase input cost.
Therefore, in light of foregoing discussions, there is a need to overcome the limitations/drawbacks of the conventional system and techniques in water treatment process.
