The floating guiding walls were delivered with the container from Germany. After the first pond was filled with pre-treated water it was now possible to assemble the walls and pull them into the right position. These two walls will improve the flow in the pond and therefore the whole size can be used.
The last step before the irrigation are the high tanks. After the steal was delivered from South Africa the stand was erected and the tanks placed on top. With these tanks the research fields can now be irrigated.
The pre-treatment was commissioned after all machinery and pipes have been installed and tested for tightness and functionality. The following months will help to establish a continuous operation and evaluation of the water quality.
