a mesh (4) placed above the wall (1); a plurality of baffles (3, 5) partially embedded in the channel and placed opposite to each other in such manner so as to the increase the distance travelled by water; plants algae planted around and on the baffles (3, 5); a flooring (6) sloping towards flowing water direction; a sink (2) constructed at a depth lower than the flooring (6); and a water wheel (11) placed in flowing water. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for aeration and separation of contaminants from flowing water that provides clean water and reduces contamination in a channel of flowing water, said system comprising: a. a wall (1) partially embedded in the channel of flowing water; b. a mesh (4) placed above said wall (1); d. a plurality of baffles (3, 5) partially embedded in said channel and placed opposite to each other in such manner so as to increase the distance travelled by said water; f. plants or algae planted around and on said baffles (3, 5); h. a flooring (6) sloping towards flowing water direction; i. a sink (2) constructed at a depth lower than said flooring (6); and j. a water wheel (11) placed in flowing water. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system for aeration and separation of contaminant from flowing water as claimed in claim 1, wherein said contaminated flowing water is water of river, canal, and runnel. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system for aeration and separation of contaminant from flowing water as claimed in claim 1, wherein said wall (1) is made of precast block, bricks, reinforced concrete, precast reinforced concrete block, and stone. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system for aeration and separation of contaminant from flowing water as claimed in claim 1, wherein said mesh (4) is mounted on said wall (1) or fitted with sliding arrangement, operated manually, semi automatically or automatically. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system for aeration and separation of contaminant from flowing water as claimed in claim 4, wherein said mesh (4) is of C shape or straight shape, at least in one part. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system for aeration and separation of contaminant from flowing water as claimed in claim 1, wherein said baffle (3, 5) is made of precast block, bricks, reinforced concrete, precast reinforced concrete block, and stone. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system for aeration and separation of contaminant from flowing water as claimed in claim 1, wherein separated contaminants collected in said sink (2) are removed manually, semi automatically or automatically. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system for aeration and separation of contaminants from flowing water as claimed in claim 1, wherein said flooring (6) is an up-and-down step flooring made with combination of interlocking stepped and flat blocks. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system for aeration and separation of contaminant from flowing water as claimed in claim 8, wherein said up and down step flooring is made up of bricks, stone, and concrete. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system for aeration and separation of contaminant from flowing water as claimed in claim 1, wherein said water wheel (11) is mounted on a baffle (5). ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The system for aeration and separation of contaminant from flowing water as claimed in claim 1, wherein said water wheel (11) is mounted on said channel.
