Pollution of groundwater and drinking water resources, particularly by agricultural pesticides, is a growing problem in large parts of the world, not least in Denmark.

These toxic, man-made chemicals have many harmful effects on insects, plants, animals, micro-organisms and human life and health.

And as long as toxic chemicals continue to be used, the problem will persist, even well into the future.

Nature’s inherent metabolic processes only slowly break down the persistent, difficult-to-degrade, environmental toxins in the soil and groundwater.

It is therefore crucial to create optimal conditions to enable this to happen more quickly, by strengthening and optimising nature’s own metabolic processes.

In order to regenerate and purify contaminated groundwater within a very short number of years, a range of conditions must be met for a very special and protected groundwater park.

Here, Lotus Arts will, through various nature-based and biotechnological measures, strengthen and enhance the self-purifying, life-sustaining and balancing forces and metabolic processes of nature and the four elements.

This also includes a highly creative and crucial planting plan based on selected plant species, as well as the enhancement of soil micro-organisms and the establishment of high biodiversity.

A contiguous area of approximately 1,500 x 1,500 metres, or around 220 hectares, is required, preferably situated around an operational or decommissioned waterworks with more or less contaminated groundwater, to supply a town with drinking water.

Firstly, the use of pesticides and cultivation must be stopped, drainage pipes must be dug up so that wetlands can be restored, and woodland must be planted where appropriate.

Lotus Arts’ expertise and methodology offer far-reaching prospects for the purification of groundwater and drinking water, as well as for environmental and ecological restoration, using relatively simple, cost-effective and entirely nature-based methods that have no harmful effects.

Having originated in Denmark, this method has the potential to gain global significance and widespread adoption.
