Abstract
One of the major problems now affecting the world is Water Pollution. Natural forms of pollution have been always presented in water systems, Except for exceptional cases, the natural purification processes is able to remove or convert the pollutants to harmless substances. With the development of civilization, human activities accelerate pollutants entering into the water, So that sometimes the amount of these pollutants exceed of the capacity of self purification of water. It means we need to increase the ability of water self purification with natural materials by physical, chemical and biological processes such as aeration, dilution, using of zeolite mineral, phytoremediation, bioremediation and so on. Sustainable use of aquatic resources is suggested as a solution to achieve a sustainable development based on the ability of aquatic ecosystems to maintain a certain level of water quality and preparing water management by eco-design.
