~ From promoting horticulture to recycling water
for filtration, to waste segregation and management, the water park provides
the best-in-class in sustainable efforts.~
Mumbai : As an
industry that depends on the natural world, there is a growing case for all
members of the leisure and amusement park industry to reduce the negative
impacts and become a part of the solution. On World Environment Day 2024, Water Kingdom proudly celebrates its commitment to eco-friendly
practices, showcasing the water park as a beacon of sustainable and
eco-friendly endeavors - from horticulture, to waste management, to water
filtration plants and more.
This year, once again to reinstate their
commitment towards maintaining sustainable and environment-friendly practices,
Water Kingdom has set out clear actions undertaken within the park to adhere to
various environment-friendly practices:
Sustainable Landscaping: With the theme ‘Lost Kingdom in a
Tropical Forest’ the water park is encased amidst plush greenery and plantation
across the park which supplies fresh and high-quality air and oxygen. It hosts
over 65 species of special plants and trees besides providing a green habitat
for all sorts of birds, reptiles, insects, and other living creatures, each of
them bringing a major positive impact to the Environment.
Waste Reduction Programs: The park has launched comprehensive
recycling programs and initiatives to reduce single-use plastics. Visitors are
encouraged to participate in waste segregation, promoting a culture of
environmental responsibility. The organic waste from park operations is
composted and reused in landscaping and horticulture activities.
Water Conservation Systems: The park has installed
state-of-the-art water recycling and filtration systems that recycle 90,00,000
litres of water every 90 minutes. This reduces water wastage by capturing
and purifying water for reuse within the park, ensuring that every drop is
utilized efficiently.
Renewable Energy Sources: The park has implemented energy-efficient technologies and
renewable energy sources to power its operations. This shift not only reduces
the park's reliance on fossil fuels but also significantly cuts down its carbon
emissions.
Educational programs: Visitors can learn about the importance of sustainable practices
through interactive exhibits and guided tours that highlight the park's green
infrastructure and renewable energy systems. There are special student and
school college packages that aim to raise awareness and inspire visitors to adopt
sustainable practices in their own lives.
The water park is also home to EsselWorld
Bird Park, a walk-in aviary spread over an acre, which is a perfect
rainforest habitat for over 400 exotic
birds from 50 different species. The
EsselWorld Bird Park takes learning to new heights with interactive exhibits
that allow visitors to engage with the feathered residents. From educational
displays to informative sessions, the park makes birdwatching an interactive
and educational adventure. This hands-on experience fosters a connection
between the visitors and nature, instilling a sense of appreciation for
wildlife. These immersive environments provide a unique and up-close experience
with the winged inhabitants making learning about nature fun and engaging.
“As the world
celebrates Environment Day 2024, our parks stand as a testament to the positive
impact of sustainable infrastructure. Its ongoing efforts not only provide an
enjoyable experience for visitors but also serve as a model for how
recreational facilities can co-exist, creating a positive impact on both
visitors and the planet. By prioritizing eco-friendly practices, Water
Kingdom is leading the way towards a greener future, reminding us that every
effort counts in preserving our environment for generations to come”, said Paresh Mishra, President – Business
Development.
Let this celebration be a call to action for businesses
and individuals alike to embrace sustainability and contribute to a healthier,
more sustainable world. For more details on Water Kingdom, you can log in
