The Atlantis Ecological Channel Systems are based on permeable sub surface waterways that restore water quality and bring back the natural environment. The Atlantis Ecological Channel Systems uses the modular Ecological Tank System to provide a unique way of working with nature to solve the enormous problems currently associated with open concrete channels.

Open concrete channels are currently one of the main methods of transporting large quantities of storm water for discharge into our oceans. Open channels are used prolifically in the urban landscape even though they are considered unsafe with frequent accidents resulting in injuries and mortalities. Channels are also a breeding ground for vermin and vector that also endanger human health. In addition to the health and safety problem large concrete channels take up vast areas of land and have a negative impact on the amenity of the area.

With the Atlantis Channel System being a sub surface system these problems with open concrete channels are rectified. The permeable channel system is designed to follow the inherent contours of the landform emulating the flow of a natural waterway. The curvilinear channel design creates vertical flow, turbulence and reduces the overall flow velocity while increasing the self cleansing capacity of the channel bed. The design of the modules that make up the channel system oxygenates through the systems vortex creation, which recharges dissolved oxygen and enhances water quality. This creates healthy aerobic conditions.

By replacing open concrete channels with Atlantis Ecological Channel Systems, cities can now benefit from increased environmental amenities, greater recreational space and healthier conditions by using the vast tracts of land once given over to rapid flowing concrete channels.

The Atlantis Ecological Channel Systems conceal stormwater channels underground that like natural groundwater aquifers are hidden from direct sunlight and ultra-violet radiation.

Water is collected in the channel system after being filtered through Atlantis Ecosoils, avoiding the collection and concentration of pollutants and restoring natural aquifers. The permeable walled channels allow interaction of water with soils, increasing the aerobic capacity of the channel. The result is minimal quantities of healthy, clean water being dispersed to rivers and oceans and a healthy, safe, pollution free, aesthetically pleasing environment for the city.
