Clean Water Responsibility (Wetlands)

Recycling
Closed loop irrigation systems.

Storage
Largest water storage capacity in Kenya – fully utilises natural flood flow – sufficient water for 6 months.

Capture
Active rain water capture from building/structures/growing tunnels.

Cleaning
Water cleaning systems, including reverse osmosis and creation of natural riperian/wetland areas.

Overall water usage is reduced, and the environmental impact of water use in our activities is kept to a minimum.

Maji Safi – Lungs of the Lake

Flamingo pioneered the use of wetland schemes to purify spent farm water.

A series of constructed pools utilise the Nile cabbage to suck out nutrients & impurities from grey water.

As water flows down through the pools the water becomes cleaner.

The environment surrounding the wetlands system supports a mosaic of habitats.

Birds, plants & invertebrates thrive in the wetland ecosystem.

Output water is clean enough to drink.

Papyrus plants filter excess nutrients & prevent erosion on the lake shore.

Papyrus plants are nurtured to help the wetlands system.

Papyrus plants are then transplanted around the lake.

Hydroponic water is recirculated and re-used.
