Cress Water Limited, based in Devon, England, specialises in the design and installation of reed-beds, ponds and wetlands in a variety of combinations for:
The treatment of sewage and a wide range of polluting wastewater effluents.
The creation of both natural, wildlife and ornamental water features.
The creation of recyclable, secondary-use water resources.
The management of all the water resources on a site.
In recent years our ecologically friendly systems have been used increasingly to treat a huge range of waste waters - from domestic sewage to the much stronger agricultural and industrial effluents - all to very high standards.
We are not, however, committed exclusively to the use of reed-bed systems. Where appropriate or where space constraints prevent the use of a fully developed wetland system, we will utilise modern technology and recommend the use of a suitable package mechanical treatment plant in conjunction with reed-beds or ponds or both.
We aim to design and install systems that keep the process pathways simple, are cost- effective, and have low maintenance and operational costs.
We also provide systems for total water management on a site, drinking water supplies and recycled water for secondary purposes.
"Water in the environment is like blood in the body: and ours is sick. The arteries and veins of our countryside, its rivers and wetlands, are suffering from the equivalent of low blood pressure and blood poisoning. The condition has developed over many years and treatment is now urgent."
- Sir David Attenborough
