1. Destratifying Dam Problems- A Revolution in Dam Management.

With the potential to save dam operators large amounts of their operating budget for raw water treatment, the WEARS reservoir circulation system, developed over five years of research, has been installed across several states for local and state authorities. The Water Engineering and Research Solutions Pty Limited (WEARS Australia), destratification system comprises a large 5-meter axial flow pump, moving water through a flexible draft tube from the surface through the thermocline to the hypolimnetic bottom layers of a dam. This destratification process, which has traditionally been achieved with high-energy low-efficiency air diffusers can now be achieved by pumping up to 15,000L/s using only 8kW of electrical energy, eliminating thermal strata, increasing nett dissolved oxygen (DO), throughout the water column and minimizing or eliminating outbreaks or blooms of Cyanobacteria.

2. Mechanical Destratification for Reservoir Management - An Australian Innovation

The low-velocity, high efficiency mechanical destratification system, with flexible draft tube, developed by Water Engineering And Research Solutions Pty Limited (WEARS Australia) has demonstrated in a number of applications the benefits of the system, both for oxygenation of benthic layers to reduce dissolution of iron and manganese, and for the control of algal blooms by pumping the surface layers down into light-limiting zones.
