First of all, because its distinguishing feature is phytodepuration, a system that purifies water with the help of special plants, making the use of chemicals unnecessary. This ensures that the water discharged is always clean and safe, with no risk of contaminating the aquifer with chemicals.
The electricity consumption aspect is also a point in favour of the eco-sustainability of the biolake: pumps with a very low energy consumption are required to allow it to function, thus saving kWh of electricity.
One of the problems that plagues our urban centers is the so-called “heat island”: a phenomenon whereby city areas have a warmer microclimate than peripheral and rural areas. The plants and water in a biolake can contribute through evaporation to reducing the effects of the heat island, which is responsible for the overheating of cities.
Finally, the characteristics of the bio-lake make it a safe place for pets to drink and bathe, but not only that: birds and butterflies often perch on its surface or shore for the same reasons, thus creating an environment in which the local fauna can rest.
