Zeolite Powder is Saving the Swan River
Zeolite powder is one of a group of substances that is saving the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia from pollutants and contamination, a fact that is greatly celebrated by the people who live by this magnificent river.
The Swan River is a picturesque expanse of water running for 67 kilometers from its origin to the Indian Ocean at Fremantle Harbour. The river originates from the Avon and Canning rivers with Melville Waters as their estuary. The Swan and Canning rivers are salt water, tidal rivers which are ideal for sailing and exciting watersports.
As recently as the 1970s, the Swan River was used as a dumping ground for waste. Some local councils and heavy industry were maintaining rubbish tips on the banks of the river or emptying fertilizer and other industrial wastes into the river. These sites are still today being cleaned to remove the toxins that were left to leach into the river. In July 1997, the Western Australian Government conducted a Water and Rivers Commission to ascertain the level of pollution in the rivers in Western Australia. At that time, the Swan River was noted for its relatively clean water, however, blooms of microscopic algae was becoming more commonplace.
The Swan River Trust, established by the State Government in 1989, plans, protects and manages the river systems of Perth. By the development of catchments areas and filtration systems and by educating both the community and businesses, the Swan River Trust is endeavouring to protect this majestic river from becoming 
unusable due to algae blooms and pollution.
Algal blooms are becoming quite common during the summer months which results in the death of many of the rivers fish species. The blooms are caused by nutrients coming into the river from the use of fertilisers in catchment areas and farming activities along the banks of the river. The accidental spillage of chemicals and sewage have also closed sections of the river from time to time.
In order for the Swan River to maintain its dynamic ecosystem, the Swan River Trust has implemented a number of initiatives to manage nutrients and pollutants in the river. For example, the Brand Highway Nutrient Filter consists of cracked laterite (pea 
gravel) to adsorb soluble phosphorus and zeolite to adsorb ammonium (soluble nitrogen) as the water passes through. Nutrient stripping wetlands have also been constructed at a number of strategic sites along the river.
The Swan Plain, through which the river runs, is basically made up of sand and Perth gardeners, through a variety of means to improve the soil, are inadvertently adding to the demise of the river. In particular, nitrogen and phosphorous from fertilizers and garden wastes often end up being washed into storm water drains that lead to the river. It is essential to improve the soil as often as required and to ensure that the soil is water absorbent but this must be done in conjunction with efforts to protect the river.
Zeolite powder is being used to turn Swan Plain sand into soil. When zeolite, spongolite and bentonite clay are combined, the soil will improve leading to a decrease in water usage, healthier plants and less run-off of nutrients and phosphorous into storm water drains.
As well as adding zeolite to your garden soil, there are a number of other habits you can adopt to save the river where you live including:
- The use of fertilizers which incorporate an environmentally-friendly wetting agent and that contain low levels of phosphorous and nitrogen, balanced levels of essential soil minerals and trace elements, controlled release fertilisers and a non-leaching formula;
- Following the manufacturers guidelines when using pesticides and herbicides;
- Making your own compost and carefully disposing of rubbish;
- Using phosphate free household detergents, avoiding abrasive and chemical cleaners containing ammonia and bleach; and
- Never throwing anything down storm water drains.
Zeolite powder is proving its worth in horticulture and in helping to maintain healthy river systems in Western Australia. Imagine how effective zeolite could be in maintaining a healthy body. Activated Liquid Zeolite is produced for just that purpose. It is small enough to travel into the blood stream and strip out heavy metals, toxins, pesticides and herbicides from the body thus allowing it to do its natural healing.
