Memory of a Garden Blooming in Water - Floating Island Flowerbeds and Poetry of Environmental Purification 2007

The "Floating Island Flowerbed Purification System (DEKS)" developed by Dowa Techno-Engine Corporation in 2007 was a technology that brought nature and people together by floating flowerbeds on the surface of water and purifying the water quality through the action of plants and microorganisms planted there. This system, which revives water in ponds and regulating reservoirs while quietly absorbing nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter in the water, is more than just a treatment facility; it blends into the landscape and brings beauty to people's eyes and hearts.

The floating islands are made of recycled plastic materials, and the structure itself is designed with an eye toward a recycling-oriented society. The floating island requires little electricity and is easy to manage, making it possible for small-scale municipalities and local residents to operate it, and it has also served as a site for environmental education. In eco-towns and environmental model districts, children participated in planting trees, and the floating garden became a place that brought people together with the community.

This natural engineering method, which replaces the conventional activated sludge method and chemical treatment, has brought a new cycle of life to the corners of the city and to the regulating ponds in rural areas. This technology, which incorporates purification, landscape, participation, and co-creation, is a quiet proposal for a sustainable future, and is truly worthy of being called "the memory of a garden blooming in the water.
