A good story for the platypus

Where: King Island reservoir at Grassy is a narrow reservoir measuring 750 metres long providing the water supply for King Island and is the home for a large population of platypus.

EnviroSonic: Three Envirosonic ES300 units with solar power on two pontoons were installed in 2012 to control the blue green algae blooms.

Success: There was some initial concern about the effect the ultrasound might have on the resident platypus population, but the operator of King Island Rambles that EnviroSonic has stablised the algae content of the water, creating a “far healthier environment for the platypus” and leading to “record numbers of platypus sightings” in their tours.
