One of the most attractive places of Santa Coloma de Gramanet is the Can Zam park. To naturalize this urban park, floating vegetated wetlands were installed in the middle of a pond. Initially, the works carried out in the Can Zam park consisted only in the implementation of one AquaFlora Floating Wetland module in the middle of the pond. Due to the success of it, two more modules were installed to provide more habitats for the fauna.
Installation of 200 m2 floating vegetated wetlands to favour the naturalisation of the area and reduce the landscape impact of the concrete structure.
The installation of AquaFlora Floating Wetlands have naturalized the park providing new habitats for the fauna of the area, more heterogeneity of the biodiversity and contributing to avoid future eutrophication processes.
