This is more than technology. It is about restoring the living waters.

Pollution Problems in Miami’s Waterways and Coastal Areas
Our waterways may appear calm, but beneath the surface, they are struggling.
Stormwater runoff carries fertilizers, herbicides, and oils into canals and estuaries, suffocating seagrass, coral, and marine life.
The goal is clear: reduce water pollution by half within the next few years — beginning with the most at-risk canal and waterway zones.
The Solution: O.A.S.I.S. AQUABOT
(Open Aquatic Sensing & Inoculation System)
OASIS is technology that mimics nature — and together with AquaChar, it forms the cleanest water purification system in the world.
At the heart of OASIS is AquaChar, a revolutionary carbon-negative purification medium unlike any filter ever created.
Traditional filters strain and clog; AquaChar acts like a magnet, pulling in pollutants and binding them at the molecular level.
Its graphene-enhanced carbon structure attracts and captures heavy metals, fertilizers, pesticides, oils, microplastics, and chemical residues — locking them safely away inside a self-cleaning microbiome.
When paired with the ozone nanobubble system inside OASIS, the results are unmatched:
-
Pathogens are destroyed at the DNA level.
-
Toxins and heavy metals are neutralized and permanently bound.
-
Purified, oxygen-rich water is released back into the ecosystem.
This dual-action process doesn’t just clean water — it restores living systems, creating visibly clearer water and conditions where marine life can thrive again.

About the OASIS AQUABOT
-
Conceived and built right here in Coral Gables by Richard Ricardo, inventor, the OASIS AQUABOT is a compact, floating, self-contained platform that merges advanced engineering with nature-inspired purification.
-
Silent operation: no mechanical noise, vibration, or odor.
-
Low-impact design: requires no chemicals, no permanent structures, and minimal maintenance.
-
Flexible power: operates on solar or standard grid connection.
-
Continuous renewal: draws in water, treats it with ozone and AquaChar, and returns it cleaner than ever before.
The OASIS AQUABOT works quietly in the background — visible only through the transformation it brings to the water itself.
Request for Pilot Location
We respectfully request the City’s approval for a two-month pilot installation of one OASIS AQUABOT at a semi-permanent location within the city’s waterways.
This location will serve as a live demonstration site to measure improvements in:
-
water clarity,
-
odor reduction, and
-
the gradual return of aquatic life.
The unit will be securely anchored and fully self-contained, requiring no construction, dredging, or structural modification.
It will operate silently, and all safety and operational protocols will be coordinated with city staff.
At the end of the two-month demonstration period, Clean Rivers Foundation will:
-
remove the unit,
-
provide a short results report with before-and-after water quality data, and
-
offer recommendations for potential long-term deployment sites.
All expenses — equipment, installation, insurance, and monitoring — will be fully covered by the Clean Rivers Foundation.
Our Commitment
OASIS represents a breakthrough in how cities can protect their natural resources — quietly, cleanly, and scientifically. This is the world’s cleanest, most sustainable water purification technology, born from the partnership between AquaChar and Applied6 Engineering, under the leadership of the Clean Rivers Foundation, and invented right here in Coral Gables by Richard Ricardo. Together, we can prove that environmental innovation and civic action can make every waterway a living, breathing system once again. Cleaner water begins here — with OASIS.
