Dams, lakes and ponds
These water bodies degrade through nutrient build-up, algal blooms, bacterial contamination, low oxygen levels, sludge accumulation and pollution. Degraded water creates significant risks for public health, animal welfare and local ecosystems.
What the unit does in a standing water body
What it does to the water
Harmful contaminants including bacteria, algae, cyanobacteria and toxins are oxidised. Dissolved oxygen is increased, improving aquatic health and balance in the water.
Because the bubbles stay suspended rather than rising and breaking at the surface, the oxygen reaches the depth of the water body and improves the health of the whole of it.
Returning water bodies to natural health
Healthy waterways rely on adequate dissolved oxygen levels and balanced biological systems. Hydro helps restore these natural conditions by:
- Increasing dissolved oxygen levels
- Reducing harmful and nuisance algae, bacteria and their toxins
- Supporting beneficial aerobic microorganisms
- Reducing sludge-forming organic matter
- Creating healthier habitats for fish and aquatic life
- Reducing odour by oxidising odour causing compounds
- No harmful or toxic residues
The result is a more resilient aquatic ecosystem that can better support biodiversity and natural environmental processes.
Four case studies
Lake Albert, Jubilee Lake, Willunga Dam and West Lakes.
Cyanobacteria at Lake Albert down from 182,385 to 936 cells/ml in two weeks, and Karenia at West Lakes down from 36,500 to 400 cells/mL, the second independently analysed by ALS. All four are covered by three studies, each of which now has a page.
