Dear Mohamad
As you know, the new methods focus on Bioremediation of pollutants from rivers. check these links.

One of the best method is phytoremediation by aquatic macrophytes and further utilization of their biomass for bio-energy production.
Presently bioremediation (Phtoremediation and phto filtration) is the best technique to clean the water but the volume of water in river bodies is huge and also in dynamic state so if we use RBF technology than the results should be much better. click on the link below it will help you.......

How about effluent treatment so that rivers are not polluted in the first place? Can be expensive though.
Yes if we treat the effluent before disposing it into the rivers than ofcourse the river remains unpolluted and be able to retain their freshness through their natural purification system but in the question Mohammad Qutait asked about the cleaning strategies.
Yes the waste water treatment strategies are less expensive in comparison to river water cleaning startegies.
Dear Mohamad Qutait,
Please have a look at this useful ResearchGate link.

Good luck!
Please also have a look at this useful RG link and PDF attachments.

The most required action is awaited from all on this issue.
Nice query@ Mohamad Qutait

Dr. Mohammed, thank you for your interesting question. Unfortunately, there is no plan to clean the most famous two great rivers in Iraq; the Tigris and Euphrates. Both come from Turkey and meet in Qurna south of Iraq to make one big river called Shatt Al Arab. Both the government and individuals contribute intentionally in polluting the two rivers beginning from Turkey, Syria and Iraq. The waste materials of factories, hospitals and drange systems are thrown into the rivers. No plans have been put for putting an end to this big pollution catastrophe.
It is lot easier to treat the effluents flowing into the river than having to treat the river itself due to the high flow rate of rivers.
Stop the pollution at the source. Anything else is more expensive and less efficient.
For cleaning the polluted river, different researchers are working on different technologies such as phytoremediation and bioremediation. but all these technologies can not work until we reduce the amount of polluted water discharge in the rivers. so instead of treating river if we focus on the treatment of industrial waste water and domestic sewage, it will help alot. You can use RBF technology for river treatment. the attached paper will help you....
In cleaning the river system many technologies have been used as mention by various researchers.But the problem is that due to industrialization and urbanization the amount of pollutant is increasing day by day and the discharge of these pollutants in the river are put pressure on the river self-purification system.therefore we treat the waste water before discharging into the river or re use the water for different purposes.But main point is that the various municipalities and industries did not have any efficient treatment plant .So first of the pollution board seeing the efficiency of the plant and take necessary step. I think this link will help you.

Do not allow to pass wastewater and industrial effluent into river bodies without proper treatment.
The lack of municipal wastewater and effluent treatment plants are main reason for river pollution.
Look for researches or works on restoration of polluted rivers. There are quite a lot new techniques especially in China.
