Living Water Garden Living Water Garden is the first inner-city
ecological park in the world with water as its theme. The park consists
of an advanced constructed wetlands system that treats the polluted river
water and an underground environmental education center. The park functions
to educate and entertain. Living Water Garden is located on the banks
of the Fu&Nan Rivers. It covers an area of 24,000 square meters. Its design,
the shape of a fish, symbolizes the inseparable relationship between fish
and water. As water from the river passes through the park's natural cleansing
system which is made up of an anaerobe settling pond, aerating sculptures
(Flowforms), A/0 pond, constructed wetlands , its quality gets better
and better. The process demonstrates how dirty water becomes clean water.
Living Water Garden offers an imitation of nature in the middle of the
city. The various parts of the park - the gardens, the fountain, the natural
river bank, the natural
 |
vegetation from Mount Emei, the colored ponds of Huang Long and the dozens
of aquatic plants and beautiful fish offer education as well as recreation.
It is hoped that as people linger in this mini-world of nature they will
be moved by nature's beauty and mystery and gain a love for and will to
preserve nature.
