In Manitoba and elsewhere in Canada, there are many small communities where full-scale, conventional wastewater treatment plants will not be financially or operationally feasible for the foreseeable future. The Cattail Bio-Platform Harvesting SystemTM, invented by Winnipeg's Curry Industries Ltd., is an innovative structured growing bed for cattails to treat wastewaters passively in sewage lagoons prior to subsequent release into surface waters. The system has been designed to harvest the cattails when the plant is richest in phosphorous and nitrogen. The objective of this pilot project is to design and field-test a prototype in a wastewater environment (i.e. municipal lagoon) to optimize the coverage of the floating Cattail Bio-Platform Harvesting SystemTM for growing cattails and nutrient reduction, with potentially wider commercial applications. **This project potentially offers an innovative solution to treat wastewater naturally and passively by using cattails therefore allowing communities a more economical opportunity to meet and even exceed nutrient reduction standards. This project will also address Indigenous Involvement by providing a means of First Nations Communities to manage their wastewater systems naturally. There is potential for job creation in these communities to manage and harvest the cattail tissue. The reuse potential of harvested cattail tissue can also provide these communities with a composting fertilizer for agriculture bettering their economies. In addition, this project will increase Curry Industries Ltd's in-house technical knowledge, accelerate the development of new innovative production with strong scientific support and help them remain competitive in the world market. **********

在马尼托巴省和加拿大其他地方，有许多小型社区，在可预见的未来，全面、常规的废水处理厂在财务上或运营上都是不可行的。香猫生物平台收获系统TM由温尼伯的Curry Industries Ltd.发明，是一种创新的结构化生长床，用于香茅在随后排放到地表水之前被动处理污水泻湖中的废水。该系统被设计成在植物富含磷和氮的时候收获香茅。这一试点项目的目标是在废水环境(即市政泻湖)中设计和实地测试原型，以优化用于种植香茅和减少营养的浮动香茅生物平台收获系统TM的覆盖范围，具有潜在的更广泛的商业应用。**该项目可能提供一种创新的解决方案，通过使用香蒲来自然和被动地处理废水，从而使社区有更经济的机会达到甚至超过营养减少标准。该项目还将通过为原住民社区提供一种自然管理其废水系统的手段来解决土著参与问题。这些社区有创造就业机会的潜力，可以管理和收获香茅组织。收获的香茅组织的再利用潜力也可以为这些社区提供农业堆肥，以改善他们的经济。此外，该项目还将增加咖喱实业有限公司的内部技术知识，在强大的科学支持下加速开发新的创新产品，并帮助它们在世界市场上保持竞争力。**********
