The Experimental Ponds Facility at Eawag in Dübendorf consists of 36 independent ponds made of glass fiber reinforced plastic. The ponds are 1.5 m deep with a shallow end to one side (0.5 m), and they hold up to 15 m3 of fresh water. The ponds can be drained and reset completely between experiments.
Depending on ongoing experiments:
1. Nutrient loading (phosphorus)
2. Presence/absence of macrophytes
