A water purification system for flowing water comprising: a porous breakwater surrounding a predetermined water area for blocking direct communication of water inside of said surrounded area and outside of said surrounded area and allowing water inside of said surrounded area and outside of said surrounded area to pass the porous structure of said breakwater for communication therebetween said breakwater incorporating: means for breaking waves of said water outside of said surrounded area and thus causing aerating of said breaking water, said wave breaking means providing sufficient oxygen in said breaking water for maintaining microorganisms in said porous structure; and means defining water flow gaps in said breakwater for passing said water inside and outside of said surrounding area therethrough, said water flow gaps being so constructed to allow said microorganisms to live therein and thus causing catalytic oxidation of said water passing therethrough, said breakwater purifying same by said aeration and oxidation.
