SAVE, CLEAN & REUSE EVERY DROP OF WATER
FILTER AND RECYCLE ALL WASTEWATER
Emboo River decreased its water consumption by 90%.
How did we do that? Together with AGUAINC, a company which is reshaping the future of water waste management.
Did you know that, according to the UN, nearly 80 % of wastewater remains untreated when discharged? This has a horrible impact on nature and causes health concerns for communities. This needs to change.
AGUAINC uses indigenous plants to treat waste water. AGUAINC optimised this process through its innovative ABIS (Aquatic Biological Integrated Systems) water-treatment method. The ABIS filters water through matrices of floating plants.
Emboo River’s water treatment relies on these local wetland plants:
Juncus Effusus
Cyperus Alopecuroides
Typha spp Dominguensis
Cyperus
Canna edulis K
Cyperus alternifolius (involucratus)
The plants excel at filtering water and were identified by AGUAINC and our Maasai Community. The leaves above the water level eliminate carbon. The roots of the plants serve as water filters. As a result, our waste water is cleaned and ready to be reused, for example, for flushing of toilets.
Emboo River is proud to create no effluent waste water. Following an extensive study on and visit to Emboo River, the Director of Kenya's National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) authorised Emboo River to not apply for an effluent waste license. NEMA's support to Emboo River's full eco mission is very important.
Emboo River's water treatment system is an important factor in protecting and providing clean water resources for the Maasai Mara community. On top of that, our wastewater treatment even looks nice! It is a small wetland space, which attracts frogs and birds.

NATURAL SWIMMING POOL
Emboo River’s swimming pool is the perfect place to relax and take a refreshing dip.
We use zero chemicals. No chlorine. No salt (which actually turns into chlorine once it enters the water).
Instead Emboo River uses the Ecosmarte system. The system creates two sanitizing agents, copper ionization and liquid oxidation. As water flows from your pump back to your pool it travels through the Ecosmarte ionization/oxidation chamber. While in the chamber, the water will either receive copper ions or become oxygenated depending on the setting of the switch on the controller. Both the ionization and the oxidation sanitizes your pool water, killing bacteria, algae, and viruses. It is simply the best chemical-free method to sanitize your pool water.
