The Problem

Lakes in cities are dumping grounds for waste and sewage; the Maragondanahalli Lake is no different. Untreated sewage flows freely into this lake daily, leading to contamination of the water and degradation of its quality. As a result, aquatic life suffers, and the ecosystem is nearly destroyed.

Our natural solution

Floating Gardens installed in Maragondanahalli Lake help filter contaminants and toxic substances through their roots. These floating islands are strategically placed at the point where sewage enters the lake. The sewage water passes through the Floating Gardens, getting filtered in the process. This process of natural filtration has significantly reduced the pollutants and contaminants in the water, improving water quality and restoring aquatic life.

Restoring ecological balance in the lake

The Floating Gardens installed in Maragondanahalli Lake significantly improved water quality, producing good results in a short period of time. This natural method of purification also aided in restoring the aquatic ecosystem in the lake. The biodiversity around the lake started thriving once more. The Floating Gardens also added aesthetic appeal to the lake.
