Consuming 33 times less water than an 18-hole golf course and 40% less water than a park of the same size, Crystal Lagoons® technology stands out for its water sustainability
Sustainability is an intrinsic feature of Crystal Lagoons® technology. This is confirmed by the numerous international awards the multinational innovation company has received in this field, reinforcing its status as a disruptive technology contributing to the environment.
Low water consumption
However, one of this innovation’s most outstanding aspects, especially in the context of World Water Day, is its low water consumption. Counterintuitively, these large turquoise-colored bodies of water do not use vast amounts of water.
How much water does a crystalline lagoon consume?
In fact, the crystalline lagoons are filled once and operate in a closed circuit, and one hectare of them is consumed annually:
- 40% less than a park of the same size.
- 33x less water than an 18-hole golf course
These features were certified by Bureau Veritas, one of the world’s leading certification companies.
Additionally, this consumption can be further reduced thanks to a molecular film developed by Crystal Lagoons, which, when needed, decreases water usage by an additional 50%.
Any Type of Water and Intensive Use
Another advantage of Crystal Lagoons® technology that makes it even more sustainable is the fact it can use any type of water:
- Fresh
- Sea
- Brackish from the underground desert wells, which have no alternate use.
In addition, unlike other amenities such as golf courses, these lagoons are used more intensively, allowing thousands of people to enjoy their turquoise waters with a much more efficient ratio of people per liter of water than other recreational facilities.
Cross-cutting sustainability
However, water efficiency is only one of the sustainable attributes of this innovative system. Bureau Veritas has already certified that this technology consumes only 2% of the energy that conventional pool filtration systems require. Another sustainable aspect is that this technological innovation uses up to 100 times fewer chemicals than a traditional swimming pool.
According to the United Nations (UN), almost half of the world’s countries will experience water shortages by 2050. Crystal Lagoons is addressing one of humanity’s most pressing challenges, aligning with this urgency and the need for innovations that maximize water resource utilization.
