The Wolfpack is on Location with a Natural Swimming Pond in Progress!
Original Presentation Date: February 17th, 2021
Natural Swimming Ponds (NSPs) replace the harsh chemistry of oxidizers and disinfectants with nature's biological equivalent in the form of plants and beneficial bacteria. This project profile takes a look at an NSP during its construction phase where reinforcing steel and rough plumbing will open the student's eyes to the sheer scale of the watershape. Entirely broadcast from the historic site itself, this program will take you back in time but leave you thinking about the future of watershapes and chemistry - or the lack thereof!
