Lessons learnt
It has been shown that integrating different alternative water sources (such as rainwater and pool overflow water) into a single system significantly increases water efficiency. Reusing resources traditionally considered waste or excess water offers significant potential for reducing water consumption.
The application also revealed that integrating the land topography into the design process significantly reduces energy requirements and operating costs. Gravity-based water transfer, utilizing the natural slope, provided a low-cost and reliable operating model.
It has been understood that the artificial pond can be considered not only an aesthetic landscape element but also a multi-purpose infrastructure component fulfilling water storage, balancing, and flood control functions. This approach demonstrates that nature-based solutions can be successfully integrated with engineering systems.
