The Water Treatment Gallery

The Alternative Water Treatment Gallery showcases natural, indigenous and vernacular methods of producing and maintaining natural fresh water, contrasting the common chemical water treatment processes. In addition to providing a brief history of water treatment processes, the gallery also features several natural water treatment methods of Biological Carbon filtration, Biological Greensand filtration, Biological Settlement tank, Slow sand filtration, Aeration, and Gravel filtration. At the end of the journey through the gallery, there is a kayak club and a cafe to celebrate the clean water.
