At the recent semi-annual meeting of our MAURICE project partners in Liberec, Czech Republic, we explored cutting-edge solutions and technologies aimed at preserving and maximizing our precious water resources.
1. Recycling Swimming Pool Wastewater in Nový Bydžov
Two swimming pools in Nový Bydžov witness a daily influx of 300 people during the operational season, utilizing 15 to 20 cubic meters of water for filter backwashing, resulting in wastewater production. To tackle this, a recycling system is being implemented to purify wastewater by removing pathogens, solid particles, and salts. This initiative not only conserves drinking water but also incorporates rainwater harvesting for the swimming pool system, showcasing a sustainable approach to water management.
2. Artificial Infiltration at Waterworks in Káraný
The crucial waterworks at Káraný play a vital role in supplying high-quality drinking water to Prague and its surrounding regions. Employing artificial infiltration methods, water undergoes controlled purification processes, starting from surface water extraction, sand filtration, to massive soaking reservoir treatment. This innovative approach ensures a robust system where water is purified and replenished for meeting the demands of Prague and neighboring communities.
3. FIT4USE Water Recirculation Technology at ZOO Liberec
The implementation of water recirculation technology at ZOO Liberec showcases a sustainable model for reducing wasteful water usage and promoting water reuse. By integrating wetland systems and advanced filtration techniques, the recirculated water is repurposed for cleaning enclosures, pools, and animal husbandry within the zoo premises. This circular approach not only conserves water but also emphasizes the importance of water sustainability in a zoo setting.
All these solutions serve as powerful tools to raise awareness about water conservation and sustainability among the public. Join us in our mission to safeguard our water resources for a greener, more sustainable future!
