Treatment Wetland ponds and channels are conceived as a series of gardens and open spaces, based on functional uses. For example, a sediment pond is also a reflection pool; a treatment channel becomes a stone garden and bird blind lounge; and the aeration process is artistically expressed as ripple and bubble pools. weaving together the story of the water-purification journey. In this way the design is an educational experience, where students & visitors can witnes s the process of water cleansing, purged to

As the world seeks cleaner power, solar energy capacity has increased sixfold in the past five years To maximize electricity generation, solar PV modules are designed to absorb light, and reflections are contrary to its central purpose. The industry has focused a significant amount of effort on increasing solar technology efficiency, which has included minimizing the amount of light that is not absorbed by the modules.
