How do rainstorms or other extreme weather situations affect the algae in the ponds and Aquatic Energy farming operations?
Aquatic has designed its open ponds to have extremely tall levees with enough extra water capacity to accommodate even the largest rain and storm events. In severe weather, rain serves as a source of free freshwater. Other than a temporary reduction in sunlight, our algae cultures are unaffected. As for extreme wind that might push the water out of the ponds, algae are such prolific growers that replacement is almost immediate — unlike a traditional crop that might be ruined for the entire season.
