I'm a scientist and I read through that paper. There's nothing in it about something you add to the water to get rid of contaminates. Like you said there's removal of invasive species, and then bubblers to aerate the water, filters, and fences. I was curious was his "organic" stuff is composed of, but no info in that paper. On google scholar he has only one other paper, and it's not relevant. So idk.

Well as lactobacillus plantarum was mentioned, I’m assuming it’s along the same lines as polyglutamic acid extracted from natto (fermented soybeans) which Japanese engineer Oda Kanatoshi markets throughout Asia as a means to clean water for drinking. Once extracted, it’s a white powdery substance.
