When the water stays in the cycle

Seen from the air, the three large basins at Daka SARVAL are hard to miss. But what are they actually used for?

Here is stored treated process water from production, which is subsequently used for field irrigation by local farmers. In this way, water and nutrients remain in the local area and become part of a new cycle rather than going to waste.

At the same time, the need to use groundwater for irrigation is reduced. This is a shared resource that many depend on, and therefore it makes sense to utilise the water that is already in circulation.

At Daka, this is a concrete example of how resources can (and preferably should) be used more than once.
