The Museum of Art Pond

I learned the Pond at the North Carolina Museum of Art is part of a comprehensive sustainable plan for water management. It was created to make a slow controlled method to clean storm water before it enters the pond. It is funded by the grant from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund. The pond has native plants and tree groves. Also, the clean pond is a great place for many animals such as geese. The design demonstrates the process of removing pollutants and reducing runoff from the museum. It is part of a larger water management plant at the museum, which includes a 90,000 gallon underground water storage cistern. It was created with the last year. The pond gives a wonderful view when you are looking around at the outdoor art work.
