COLLECTION

Water FitrationGreen rooftops, landscapes, hardscapes, water canals and water marshes act as biofilters removing sediments from the water. They are designed to emulate natural features by treating storm water runoff, waste water and pollutants. Water is filtered at algae ponds and oyster beds. At the same time, collected water helps sustain algae for production of bio - energy. Grey water and storm water can be recycled and used as a mostu-irizer for gardens or brought back into buildings for secondary uses.
