References and comments
It is the first time, a new concept andthe term
biomachinery
‟ is formulated
;in these publication, it is the first timethat the new term 'biomachinery' wasintroduced;It is the first time that the new conceptand term
„biomachinery‟ was applied to
ecosystem.It is the first time that water self-purification in aquatic ecosystems wasconsidered as an example of functioning of biomachinery.

Advantages of using the concept and term „biomachinery‟:
(1) it providesan excellent framework to integrate knowledge on biotic and abioticprocesses contributing to improving water quality; (2) it provides excellent

opportunities to compare natural and technological processes , and as aresult, to draw useful conclusions and lessons from ecological facts, toapply them to technology of water, and to management of water resources

Application:
To improveunderstanding of what isecosystem;To improve waterquality;To attain watersustainability;modeling of aquaticenvironment;To improve management
The followingquestions wereanswered
 – 
to adegree - in thepapers:Is ecosystem anorganism ormechanism?Is it possible to findanalogies betweenattributes of ecosystem andfeatures of technologicaldevices?Which conceptualinnovations could befound in how aquaticecosystem maintainswater quality?
