I don't think so. It's avoiding the big issue that other better technologies should prevail as to mitigate / eliminate the source of emissions, not lessen the harm that has already been done.

Even if this technology is feasible, it would still require lots of resources and money to build and operate. Not to mention, that it uses the valuable resource of clean potable water to combat pollution, thereby polluting another resource.

Some may argue that this is an interim solution to addressing public health since lowering pollution levels substantially is years off. But I'd argue that the time and resources it would take to get this up and running aren't worth effort when new technology and innovation in source pollution reduction are already available or have been for decades.
