Holiday. Finally! It seems to be the most estimated station ever. We dream of refreshing dives to recharge our batteries, whether in the sea or in the water of a river or stream, to relax body and mind. Those who prefer the last have one more alternative. A dive in a biological pool! The [...]

The few freshwater species that exist in Portugal live in streams or flowing rivers, in other words, in conditions that are very different from those of a biological pool. Almost all of them are registered in the Red List, because they are rare and the destruction of their habitat and/or the pollution of streams [...]
One kilogram of fresh aquatic plant biomass contains 1 gram of phosphorus. As phosphorus is the limiting element for algae growth in an aquatic ecosystem, we can say that collecting and composting 1 kg of withered water lily leaves and flowers exports 1 g of phosphorus out of the biological pool ecosystem.

The first “pools” were invented 3,000 years before [...]
A biological pool is a major attraction for people. But not only that, it is also extremely attractive to wildlife. In Mediterranean landscapes water is scarce. Especially in summer. The biological pool serves as a drinking place for birds and small mammals. It becomes essential for those living beings that live in the neighborhood [...]
The Iberian Group of Natural Bathing Waters (GIABN), a bi-national association of professionals for design and construction of biological pools on the Iberian Peninsula, started a collaboration with other sister organizations in Austria and Italy. Together they launched a research project that aims to try to vanish how and why guests spend their holidays [...]
