		Investments to save Water - 22.02.07 The gardens of Namib Desert Lodge are nowadays irrigated with waste water which has been purified by natural means. This is the result of an irrigation system combined with a purification plant. The plant from Aqua Services & Engineering was taken into use a month ago. At peak times the plant can process 25 m³ of waste water per day, which equals the volume generated by about 200 people.

		During the next years all the parks of the Gondwana Desert Collection will be equipped with a treatment plant, even though all of them have more than enough ground water at their disposal to supply the accommodation centres. Nevertheless, the intention is to increase water savings in the future. The plants are an investment totalling 1 million Namibia Dollar – or about 105,000 Euro at the current exchange rate of N$ 9.5 to the Euro.
