A 500m2 lake
The technicians are working on the reduction of the draft of the pond, decreasing its depth, which will go from 1 meter to 0.80 meters, which will save water.
Likewise, a new purification and purification system will be installed, a new, more powerful pumping equipment with which water circulation will be improved, preventing it from pooling and generating sludge, as well as slowing the proliferation of mosquitoes.
This action, which will improve water quality and prevent bad odors from being generated, will also positively affect the fauna of the park, mainly formed by ducks.
In addition, the draft reduction also means an increase in safety.
The smaller the depth of the pond, the lower the chances of accidents, increasing the safety of families walking through the area.
Specifically, the lake, with an area of ​​500 square meters, has a water volume of 190 cubic meters.
Energy efficient lights to beautify the park
Likewise, it will proceed to the installation of LED lights in the surroundings of the lake, embellishing this park.
In addition, the railing surrounding the pond will be renewed.
Soon the technicians will begin to work in the park of Fofó, where the conditions of the pond will also be improved.
For its part, the lake of La Seda has already been renovated, and this week will conclude the work that is being carried out in the Salitre, where the draft of the pond has been reduced and a new layer of waterproofing has been placed that prevents water seepage occurs.
In both ponds the sediments and sludges that were deposited at the bottom of the lakes were removed and new more powerful pumping equipment was installed to improve water recirculation.
