Aquatic resources such as irrigation lakes or architectural fountains both serve important roles at a vineyard or winery whether it be for wine production or simply enhancing the aesthetics of your tasting room. With natural management solutions, you can achieve healthy, functioning waterbodies that impress visitors and improve production.
The irrigation and stormwater lakes and ponds at your vineyard need to be functional. They provide water that is vital to your grapes, and ultimately the varietals and blends you produce. Without proper management, nuisance aquatic weeds and algae can impair the cleaning and maintenance processes, as well as limit the functionality of your irrigation system. Leaving your waterbody unmanaged can also lead to potentially toxic algae blooms in your irrigation water which can limit crop yields or be hazardous to field workers or guests.
In addition to aquatic weed and algae prevention, proactive management solutions such as submersed or nanobubble aeration help treat wastewater used throughout the winemaking process without excess water evaporation. The ultra-fine bubbles circulate the water and pump oxygen into the water column, promoting beneficial bacteria and reducing nutrients for healthy, chemical-free water for processing and irrigation use. Not to mention, submersed and nanobubble aeration is also an energy saver compared to surface aerators that have traditionally been used in the winemaking industry.
Our team offers custom architectural fountain design elements of all types for electric fountain systems, including artificial rockwork, stone and landscaping. Whether you desire to enhance the natural beauty of your property or introduce a stunning new focal point at your tasting room, an architectural fountain or decorative waterfall will surely impress your visitors.
