We help to implement circular water management in zoos, botanical gardens and parks.
Circular water management will allow you to improve the welfare of your animals, make your exhibits more attractive to visitors, save on operating costs and become a model for the sustainable use of valuable water resources. After all, who else but a zoo should set an example of how to use nature’s gifts responsibly?
We understand the specific needs of zoos, and we are a technological partner of the European research project LIFE4ZOO.
We design the water management model for each zoo individually, optimising the use of available water resources and applying the principles of circular management. At the same time, our technologies ensure reliable safety, including microbial safety. All water treatment is carried out in accordance with the Fit4Use principle – we treat the water exactly to suit its use. Anything less wouldn’t be safe, while anything more would be a waste.
Each zoo is unique. They differ in area, location, available water sources, climate and range of species. That’s why we approach each zoo individually. We provide:
Water management consultancy
Water management studies
Technology design
Projection
Delivery of technologies
For a long time, we have been working on methods of reducing the undesirable development of cyanobacteria and green algae on ponds and lakes. For each water reservoir, we propose an optimal combination of measures, which are both safe and environmentally friendly. Our measures reduce unwanted nutrient loads, promote biodiversity and decrease sediment volume. Our services include:
Surface water quality consultancy
Implementation of surface water quality measures
Bacterial preparations
Floating reed islands
Ultrasonic cyanobacteria elimination
Aeration systems
Automatic phosphorus coagulation systems
Reservoir reconstruction and mud removal
A comprehensive model of water management in a zoo includes consideration of the optimal usage of available resources, including rainwater:
We apply principles of circularity and recycle used water, all while maintaining total safety and taking operating costs into account.

Zoo Liberec
A proposal for a global system of circular water management in the zoo, including a water management study and the design of the water treatment technology. The combination of a gentle, nature-friendly biotope treatment system and barrier membrane treatment provides convenience, safety and efficient recycling, with water savings of up to 90%.
Liberec Botanical Gardens
A study of the use of water resources (including rainwater) in the area of the Botanical Garden in Liberec, including water treatment with hygiene.
Zoo Liberec
A pilot programme for water recycling technology used in sea lion enclosures with salt water.
Zoo Liberec
Piloting of surface water treatment technology for the purpose of watering animals even in periods with deteriorated surface water quality due to eutrophication.
