Upcoming is the age of water battles. Most of water purifying equipment uses chemicals, and some physical barriers to purify water but I think by using plants maybe that be possible to get more healthy and natural friendly way to reach usable water especially in the lands with soil pollution too. I am looking to know if there is any kind of these herbs and plants or anybody has information about it.
What you are searching for is: Phytoremediation
At this link you have a list of hyperaccumulators for phytoextraction
