Filtering of water run-off
Filter beds, comprising of aquatic reeds, and wetlands
are located where water enters and discharges from the
lake system. Water flow is reduced and sediments are
filtered out.

to absorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in
the water. A reduction of nitrogen levels is critical to
minimising alga bloom and ensures better water quality.
