One of the most important problems facing us as a result of climate change is the lessening of our water supply. Therefore, for future agricultural production and to guarantee the use of residential water, we must maintain the surface and ground water in its current adequate state, and to use it in an ecological manner. During the past decade and a half due to ecological management, and the considerate use of the water supply, we have proven that within the 200 hectares of the eco village of Somogyvámos, today the ground water is safe to drink, and the high nitrate content of 15 years ago today are under medical safety levels.

With a thorough realization of environmental consciousness and sustainability this project aims to improve environmental conditions. Protecting local water resources, waste-water management, and improving the quality of drinking water are all important elements of the Eco-valley project, as is presenting and providing education on these activities. It is an immense challenge for every community to provide enough water for drinking, irrigation and water supplies in case of fires. While at the same time they have to secure the continual stability and future of their water resources – it is possible only with a well-conceived local action plan.

Our main developments:

a local water and waste water management program with zero-energy consumption (We have an approved plan for a natural root-zone wastewater treatment system. The effluent clean water is to be used for the irrigation of the botanic garden.)
using and protecting local water resources
storing rainwater, managing surface waters and protecting local habitats and micro-climates
