Aeration Systems For Ponds
The need for clean water is a global concern, not just for pond owners in North America, but all over the world.
Pond aeration can be an enormous benefit in developing countries where healthy clean water is in huge demand and can be extremely scarce – it is estimated that one in three people in developing countries does not have access to fresh drinking water. By aerating ponds and helping add oxygen to stagnated water – the ponds are less likely to cause harmful health issues. Pond aeration is not new. In developed countries like in the US and Canada where aeration systems for ponds have been successfully maintaining and cleaning ponds for several decades. Both Electrical and windmill aeration systems have been aerating North American ponds for many years.
The costs of aeration and education has been two main factors for the late adoption of pond aeration systems in developing countries.
Outdoor Water Solutions is working hard to address these issues and is educating and working with Heart to Honduras ministries in Honduras to get some windmill aeration systems installed in stagnated ponds so that the population in this country can learn how to improve pond water quality.
The people of Honduras are using these windmills to aerate their Tilapia ponds to help increase their fish production, a crucial component of their diet. Through aeration, they have been able to decrease fish mortality and increase fish growth rates giving them more fish per acre of water.
Helping Aerate fish producing ponds and providing ways for the people to pump water from wells and ponds is another way we can help improve the standard of living in developing countries. Thanks to our team at Outdoor Water Solutions and our windmill driven aeration systems, we are able to begin helping people around the world.
