Rob's design is based on the ideas of large-scale Eco-Machines developed by Professor John Todd at University of Vermont who later became Founder of Ocean Arks International. Rob came up with a smaller, lower-cost, in-ground water treatment system that could be used for treating the water of ponds and other polluted water sources. Like Dr. Todd's eco-technologies, the Ecoasis natural water treatment system mimics natural, biological purification of water with the help of local naturally present algae, fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms as well as snails, tadpoles, shrimps and various plants.

"We hear a lot of exciting news about sustainability initiatives at the level of various companies and public organizations," said Natalia Smothers, founder of Your Green Homestead. "Households, farms, and homesteads are mostly limited to composting, recycling, and conserving energy. Rob's innovative design presents a possibility of a sustainable naturally filtered pond that also doubles as a place to grow vegetables right in our backyards. This sounds exciting and inspirational!"
