Life for zoo

‘Life4ZOO – Water Resource Management in Visitor Attractions – FIT4USE Water Recirculation Technology’

The project’s main objectives:

• reducing water consumption at the zoo by up to half and mitigating the impact of climate change
• creating a prototype and design that is easily transferable and inspiring for other visitor attractions and zoos in Europe.
• educating and informing the public about sustainable water management

A new water management system will be implemented at the Zoo Liberec and it enables wastewater treatment and reuse. It includes a water wetland with a root wastewater treatment plant and a unique bio-container for ultrafiltration water treatment.

The project involves 6 partners from the Czech Republic and Spain, from science and development, private sector and zoos. The Technical University of Liberec is the main promoter.
