Ponds
Ponds are a huge benefit to a permaculture site. PuraVida Aquatic's
philosophy is to promote natural aquatic ecosystems and live peacefully within our world ecosystem. Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia defines permaculture as “a theory of ecological design which seeks to develop sustainable human settlements and agricultural systems, by attempting to model them on natural ecosystems.” That is a pretty good definition of our interests. We are also interested in native California marsh and bog plants and animals, water conservation, constructed wetlands, and rainwater catchment. If you are interested in water conservation ponds are great! A pond actually uses less water than landscaping of the same area since with landscaping there is loss of water to the surrounding soil above and beyond evaporation. -- PuraVida Aquatic http://www.puravidaaquatic.com/ |
