Water Gems

Lake management and naturalisation

Water Gems has become a specialist in the management and improvement of public water bodies.

Many of our projects have involved the transformation of old, bleak, eutrophic park ponds into focal points for the local community which are high in biodiversity and amenity value.

The work often involves desilting, planting and the construction of viewing platforms and jetties.

Water quality problems that give rise to algal growth are also dealt with, whether the problem is filamentous algae or blue green algae. This is achieved either by desilting and planting or by the use of specific treatments to lock up soluble phosphorus.
