>> Thanks, btw for improving my science knowledge; I run mostly on high school biology and bachelor anthropology. <<
You're welcome!
I took science classes into college, of which the most new material came from the meteorology class taught by a real live weatherman. Since then, I've continued exploring. I don't need the math to see how quantum physics connects with magic and spirituality, I just need verbal descriptions. And as much as the world has gone downhill in many ways, actually finding exoplanets is an awesome modern thing.

Exactly. Louisiana obliterated as much of its wetlands as it could and is now washing away into the ocean. Florida did and is now slowly subsiding into saltwater. Those are extreme examples, but you get the idea.
If you want to get fancy with filtration, water gardeners and permaculturists have been making swamp filters for many years. The idea is to create a zigzag so the water flows through a lot of substrate and plant roots. In other words, it should look like the kind of meandering river that flows through a wild wetland.
