Water
Supply
The
increase in ground water pollution and acid rain will mean that there
is a strong need for the provision of a self-contained, recycling,
water supply.
The filtering
of water will be a significant factor in this scenario. A major visual
feature in the BIOME was the water
filtration system.
The water
was being pumped from a seemingly contaminated tank, into a filtering
process and from there ran into a central channel feeding the needs
of the plants within the BIOME.
Theatrical
One of the
purposes of the BIOME was to make
the visitor think about what we have NOW.
While
the display was largely theatrical (the water was actually clean water
within a "contaminated"
tank, creating an optical illusion of the filtering process), the
concepts behind the idea are perfectly feasible, and would be vital
should our apocalyptic vision of the future be allowed to happen!
