Aquaculture can and should be function for grey water reuse from kitchen sink or bathroom to productive ends. When the water is cleaned through a series of gravel reed bed and filtered through a series of ponds – it gets fed to fish pond and fruit trees. All the grey water is dumped into a header tank and pipe that runs underground to three gravel reed beds. Course gravel is used to quickly soak any waste water and a series of thick reeds and boulders are used to hold the system in place should a sudden rain event or deluge occur. Wetland plants are designed to grow in waterlogged soils with very low oxygen levels. Most wetland plants are adapted to “pull oxygen out of the air” and diffuse it down through the roots creating little aerobic zones. This stimulates microbial activity and bacterial growth to occur. The bacteria will break down compounds suspended in the soil and help filter the water as it runs through the various gravel beds and out to the ponds. Microorganisms break down about 90% of pollutants and waste breakdowns in the gravel. The plants also act as a carbon source for microbe activity when they break down and decay. The grey water eventually drains into a small pond where small fish can also be added to keep the mosquito population under control. Nothing is wasted as the system takes care of itself.
Kami menggabungkan kolam aquaculture dengan reed beds dan bog area. Kolam yang kami buat sendiri terdiri dari tiga buah kolam (nanti akan kami posting lengkapnya setelah selesai dibuat).
