We provide the most comprehensive lake management and algae control services in the Middle East.
The Problem
Lakes and other water bodies often have excess nutrients that lead to algae blooms.
The algae eventually die and decompose leading to surface scums and noxious
odours. In warm weather like in the Middle East, this a seasonal problem and
sometimes the entire water body turn to green colour.
Lakes also get contaminated with irrigation water from surrounding landscape. In
UAE, the source of this irrigation water is often Treated Sewage Effluent which may
contain pathogenic bacteria and other parasites, leading to contamination of the
lake and posing public health risks.
In Dubai, lakes and other water bodies are closely monitored by Dubai Municipality
for water quality and public health pests. If a water body fails the set maximum
thresholds for physical, chemical or microbiological parameters, or if the water body
is found with pest infestation, the property will receive fines and possible closure
until the problem is solved.
This is why it becomes critically important, for the long‐term life of the water body,
to implement a sound on‐going lake management program.
