“The families of the San Ginés district can now enjoy the new environment of the Los Patos park, which has a new water pumping system, which prevents sludge generation and improves the quality of life of the fauna that inhabits in the garden, "said the mayor of Murcia, who added that" this action is part of the 'Objective Pool 2023' plan, launched in August, to alleviate the effects of climate change through water, as the main element of our parks and gardens".
Specifically, the works of the Los Patos park have consisted of installing a new pumping system and reducing the draft of the pond, which saves water, among other measures.
Work began at the end of September and involved an investment of 38,000 euros.
A 500m2 lake
The technicians have carried out the reduction of the draft of the pond, decreasing its depth, which has gone from 1 meter to 0.80 meters, which saves water.
Likewise, a new purification and purification system has been installed, a new, more powerful pumping equipment with which the circulation of water is improved, preventing it from pooling and sludge being generated, as well as slowing the proliferation of mosquitoes.
This action, which improves water quality and prevents bad odors from being generated, also positively affects the fauna of the park, mainly formed by ducks.
In addition, the draft reduction also means an increase in safety.
The smaller the depth of the pond, the lower the chances of accidents, increasing the safety of families walking through the area.
