| Welcome to the Wastewater Gardens® website |
|
|
| An ecological low-cost beautiful solution for effective sewage and wastewater treatment. The system is appropriate for use in communities, businesses, hotels and homes. Wastewater Gardens® have proven to be far more effective, affordable & long lasting than conventional (high tech) sewage treatment, particularly in remote areas and tropical zones.
To date Wastewater Gardens® have been installed in over 150 homes, hotels, businesses and communities worldwide. Including Wastewater Gardens® as part of your home or business is the most economical, ecologically sound way of preventing fresh water contamination in your environment.
|
|
|
| Wastewater Gardens® systems are less expensive to build than conventional sewage treatment and running costs are dramatically lower (5-10% of ordinary maintenance and operating costs), since little or no machinery is used. |
|
| Wastewater Gardens® systems use plants, microbes, sunlight & gravity to transform wastewater into beautiful gardens & reusable water. As solutions for fresh water conservation become increasingly important to our governments and local communities, Wastewater Gardens® are being installed for schools and community treatment systems. Wastewater Gardens® are an excellent way to increase public awareness about economical solutions to resource management that preserve our health and well-being and that of our environment. |
|
|
|
| Wastewater Gardens® systems are capable of extremely high rates of wastewater cleaning. In research over the past several decades, this type of system, even in its earlier design forms, has a well-documented track record of consistently cleaning water to levels better than municipal standards for wastewater treatment.
The technology has been reviewed by the U.S. EPA & European Health authorities, and meets their wastewater treatment standards. The design uses only one fifth the area of open surface wetlands & its high biodiversity raises constructed wetlands to a complete ecological system.
