POOL DESIGN

FOR S N AYURVEDA A Sustainable design

COLLEGE
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF
THE POOL
The pool is needed for the guests to relax and have fun.
And of course to swim.
WHEN WE THINK “SWIMMING
POOL”….
BUT…
You asked for a pool that has “a unique organic shape”!

SO…
Lets take uniqueness to the next level.
BEFORE THAT….

What is missing in a
conventional swimming pool?
FIRST LET ME SHOW YOU
SOME PICTURES OF
SWIMMING POOLS THAT WE
STUDIED AT FORT KOCHI
FOLLOWED BY SOME MORE
IMAGES TO HELP YOU FIND
WHAT IS MISSING…
SOME BEAUTIFUL
PONDS
SO WHAT IS MISSING IS
“LIFE”
Also,

It is not unique
It is expensive
It is energy consuming
Needs chemicals to keep the water clear

High maintenance
SO, LETS CREATE A POOL
WITH “LIFE”

A Unique Cost-effective
, and Sustainable pool.
PROPOSAL

What is proposed is a pool that functions as an ecosystem that maintains


itself!

A system of plants, fish and microorganisms


that together work to keep the water crystal
clear and full of life.
BENEFITS
Such a pool…

Will be a unique feature and will attract more guests


Is rejuvenating and truly relaxing
Cost-effective
Energy efficient
Free of harmful chemicals
Low in maintenance cost
Has no cost of operation
Sustainable and eco-friendly
NOW, YOU MAY THINK, “IS IT
POSSIBLE?”
Yes
Absolutely!
HOW?
I Have duly done some research and consulted experts about the idea.
I shall briefly explain the science behind the system.
HOW THE WATER QUALITY IS
MAINTAINED…
ECOSYSTEM APPROACH
LIMNOLOGISTS
These are some of my crude understandings of the system.
However, there are experts who deal especially with fresh water ecosystems called
limnologists who can help us realize the idea.
DR. EZILI NATARAJAN
I consulted Dr. Ezhili Natarajan who is a Professor, Environmentalist
and limnologist.
She has published several research papers on the pollution, restoration and treatment
of lakes of Coimbatore in International journals.
She also consults for the government for the restoration projects of the lakes
in Coimbatore that are based on her research.

You can Google “Ezhili N” to know more about her and her work.
MR. P. VINCENT
Mr. P Vincent is a freelancing environmentalist.
He is an expert in rapid afforestation technology using microbes and bioremedial
treatment of water bodies.
His notable projects:
 Protection of river bank using “vettiver” system in West Bengal. A government funded
project that is protecting the 700 km long banks of the river Hubli from soil
erosion.
 Several rapid afforestation projects in Coimbatore.

THE BENEFITS…

A self sustaining pool will be a unique feature of the Ayurveda resort.


This pool won’t require any chemicals to maintain water quality.
It does not require expensive filtration systems.

No mechanical equipment is needed and so no energy is used.


It is a pool that has life and will be a great pleasure to swim in.
