UV DISINFECTION FOR ZOO’S
Having a water body in the zoos’ enclosures is essential for the animals. Either for recreational use, source of the drinking, or both – it plays a crucial role in recreating the natural environments for animals. However, unlike natural rivers and lakes, the water exchange does not occur naturally, and therefore must be recreated by complex water treatment infrastructures, designed to target diseases and challenges concerning the specific animal.
