The Waterharmonica is a way of thinking to fill the gap between treated waste water and surface water. It is a way to transfer well treated waste water in a "healthy and useable" surface water. Waste water was "the best water you had", as it was expensive drinking water, only used to transport dirt. It acually makes the natuural link between tap and source. The Waterharmonica aims on new integrated ecological engineering processes, by optimising multifunctional constructed wetland processes, not only used for after treatment of the clear effluent from sewage treatment plants, but also to "biological" revitalize the water. The combination with cultivation of biomass, like Daphnia and fish, aimed on strengthening of natural values by using the nutrients from the waste water makes it a new practical form of ecological engineering.
