The Environmental Technology system is a fine bubble, low maintenance, economical system, that introduces air at the bottom of the watershed which increases the oxygen content of the water and keeps organic matter under control rather than floating or decaying on the bottom. Lakes or ponds normally circulate oxygen naturally. In the summer, the top layers grow warmer and rich in oxygen while the bottom layers stay cold and use up oxygen. During the fall and spring, temperature-density relationships cause the strata to exchange places. These exchanges mix water throughout the entire depth of the watershed. If excessive amounts of waste are dumped into a lake or pond, there comes a time when the oxygen consumption of the waste and decaying algae is greater than the oxygen introduced into the water from the air and by living algae. At this point even the natural exchange of water strata cannot provide adequate oxygen and the watershed becomes stratified and oxygen deficient. This condition is called eutrophication. 
The Environmental Technology system overcomes eutrophication by artificially inducing vertical circulation of the water and thus increasing the oxygen and content of the bottom layer of water.
