System and method for water restoration to a water pool or to water regions associated with freshwater or saltwater marinas. Embodiments include a positive water flow device that works in unison with a negative water flow device, wherein the positive and negative flow devices are separated from each other in the water pool or water regions. The positive flow device, for example, a water jet, directs a stream of water beneath the water surface of the water pool or water regions, and causes a water surface to move towards the negative flow device by a hydraulic pushing action. The negative flow device includes a water pump and receiving port, augments the hydraulic pushing action by providing a complementary pulling action by applying a vacuum or negative pressure to a water receiving port, or scoop. Water laden, oily surface contaminants are then removed in the scoop as a water oil mixture that is subsequently separated to form an oil mixture for subsequent recycling and a clean water source that is restored for delivery back into the water pool or water regions.

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1. A method for removing pollutants from an open water region comprising: positioning a positive flow source to be adjustably placed between the positions of near a water surface, slightly above the water surface, and slightly beneath the water surface; positioning a negative flow source near the water surface and opposite the positive flow source; directing a horizontal flow of water from the positive flow source towards the negative flow source to cause a moving water surface to travel towards the negative flow source; receiving at least a portion of the moving water surface; and separating insoluble components from the received moving water surface. 2. A method for removing pollutants from an open water region: positioning a positive flow source to be adjustably placed between the positions of near a water surface, slightly above the water surface, and slightly beneath the water surface; positioning a negative flow source near the water surface and opposite the positive flow source; directing a horizontal flow of water from the positive flow source towards the negative flow source to cause a moving water surface to travel towards the negative flow source; receiving at least a portion of the moving water surface; separating insoluble components from the received moving water surface to form a clean water volume; and sending the clean water volume to the water pool. 3. A method for removing pollutants from an open water region: positioning a positive flow source to be adjustably placed between the positions of near a water surface, slightly above the water surface, and slightly beneath the water surface; positioning a negative flow source near the water surface and opposite the positive flow source; directing a horizontal flow of water from the positive flow source towards the negative flow source to cause a moving water surface to travel towards the negative flow source; receiving at least a portion of the moving water surface; separating insoluble components from the received moving water surface to form a clean water volume; aerating the clean water volume; and sending the aerated, clean water volume to the water pool. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein directing the flow of water delivered by the positive flow source includes the flow of water being delivered by a jet nozzle hydraulically coupled to a water pump. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein receiving at least the portion of the moving water surface includes at least a portion of water beneath the moving water surface under the influence of the positive and negative flow water flow sources. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein receiving at least the portion of the moving water surface and the water beneath the moving water surface is determined by the penetrating depth of the negative flow source within the water pool. 7. A system for removing pollutants from an open water region comprising: a positive flow source positioned at a first location to be adjustably placed between the positions of near a water surface, slightly above the water surface, and slightly beneath the water surface; a negative flow source positioned at a second location near the water surface and opposite the positive flow source; and an oil water separator in hydraulic communication with the negative flow source for producing a cleansed water, wherein the water removal devices and water delivery devices complementary operate to urge the flow of surface water from the first location of the water pool to the water removal device at the second location for collection and sending to the oil water separator to produce and return a cleansed water to the water region. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein the cleansed water aerated before returning to the open water region. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the open water region comprises water located in a marina. 10. A system for removing pollutants from a marina having at least one boat slip having an entry exposed to flowing water, the system comprising: a positive flow source positioned at a first location to be adjustably placed between the positions of near a water surface, slightly above the water surface, and slightly beneath the water surface; a negative flow source positioned at a second location near the water surface and opposite the positive flow source; and a water restoration system including: a pump having an influent channel and an effluent channel, the influent channel in hydraulic communication with the negative flow source and the effluent channel in hydraulic communication with the positive flow source; an oil water separator in hydraulic communication between the effluent channel and the positive flow source configured to remove oil from the influent water to produce a cleansed water for routing to the positive flow source, wherein the negative flow source and positive flow source complementary operate to urge the flow of surface water in direction of the flowing water for collection of the surface water and delivery to the water restoration system. 11.
