Today marks the International Day of Action for Rivers, a poignant reminder of the vital role these water bodies play in our ecosystems and communities. As we commemorate the 27th anniversary under the theme "Water for All," it's crucial to reflect on the myriad challenges facing our rivers and the concerted efforts required to protect them.
Across the globe, communities are engaged in various endeavours aimed at safeguarding their water resources. From advocating for water rights and clean water access to combating dams, water grabs, and privatization, the spectrum of initiatives underscores the universal significance of water as a fundamental resource.
In the pursuit of not only preserving our rivers but our industries, with a commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices, Clearflow offers a range of products designed to mitigate erosion, safeguard watersheds, protecting companies from regulatory compliances.
Rivers face a multitude of threats, from pollution and sedimentation to habitat destruction and altered flow regimes. These challenges not only jeopardize the health of aquatic ecosystems but also impact the communities reliant on these rivers for their livelihoods and well-being.
Traditional methods of erosion control and water treatment often fall short in addressing the complex dynamics of river ecosystems. Conventional approaches may inadvertently introduce harmful flocculant chemicals or fail to provide long-term, sustainable solutions, exacerbating rather than mitigating the problem.
How can we effectively protect our watersheds and promote the health of our rivers in the face of mounting environmental pressures?
Clearflow solutions for watershed are made up of a suite of innovative products specifically engineered to address the unique challenges of erosion control and watershed protection. At the forefront of our offerings are Clearflow gel flocculants and erosion control products, which represent a paradigm shift in river restoration and conservation efforts.
Clearflow's gel flocculants are formulated to rapidly and effectively remove suspended solids and turbidity from water bodies. By accelerating aggregation of fine particles into larger, easily removable flocs, these products facilitate sedimentation and sediment removal, improving water clarity and quality.
Clearflow's TSS water treatment systems: are about simplicity and dollar optimization. Gel Flocculant reactors are a highly mobile, easy to operate and inexpensive solution. Plus with no chemical storage totes, no operators minding chemical feed pumps, and zerocarbon being emitted we've provided an economical, safe and field proven process to ensure you maintain regulatory compliance.
Clearflow's erosion control products provide robust solutions for stabilizing soil and preventing sediment runoff in sensitive riparian areas. From biodegradable erosion control blankets to innovative sediment traps and barriers, these products offer versatile options tailored to the unique needs of each project site.
Clearflow in Action: In communities around the world, Clearflow solutions have been instrumental in restoring degraded riverine habitats, mitigating erosion, and enhancing water quality. Whether deployed in urban waterways, mining, municipal, industrial, agricultural landscapes, or wilderness areas, Clearflow's products have consistently delivered measurable results, earning the trust of environmental practitioners and stakeholders alike.
As we commemorate the International Day of Action for Rivers, let us recommit ourselves to the cause of river conservation and stewardship. By harnessing innovative solutions like Clearflow's gel flocculants, dewatering treatment systems, and erosion control products, we can protect our lifelines for future generations, ensuring that water truly remains "for all."

Top project: Municipal Storm Water Management Facility Sediment Removal, Reuse and Water Quality Retrofit Project
This project included sediment removal and the reuse and retrofit for a storm water management facility called “Pond #53” in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The main goal of the project was to identify solutions to address known storm water flow control volume and water quality issues. Additionally, the project sought to design innovative practices that were designed to improve efficiencies in sediment cleanouts and disposal, implement a retrofit design to facilitate improved sediment removal and downstream water quality and provide better sediment disposal options.
