To maintain a lake with potable water is very expensive in hot climate zones, due to the high evaporation at the surface which can go up to 1.5 cubic meters per month and per square meter surface. On the base of a price for potable water in the UAE about EUR 25.00 as loss per square meter have to be considered!

The use of treated sewage water could reduce the costs to keep a constant water level, but is risky due to the high load of undefined bacteria. The threat for health is not only given if somebody is swimming in the lake, but also by bacteria filled aerosols at flowing waterways and fountains.

In the moment sea water lakes within garden areas are unusual because in the event of leakages the total area around would be spoiled, but the maintenance costs would be nearly zero. On the other side it must be considered that any existing pond-liner has just a life time of up to 5 years, what means that leakages are guarantied with this period and that means it is irresponsible to use sea water.

Only the new PTFE-Pond-Liner “AquaProof” with its unlimited life time makes it possible to install sea water lakes without any risk for the environment now and in the future.
