11 million gallons. 500 species. And almost zero water wasted.
Inside the Georgia Aquarium, one of the largest aquatic facilities in the world, more than 99% of water is recycled and reused—a system designed to conserve millions of gallons every year. Advanced filtration technology from Xylem keeps massive exhibits like the 6.3-million-gallon Ocean Voyager tank—home to whale sharks and manta rays—clean through a sophisticated denitrification process.
But this isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about impact. The aquarium is actively restoring endangered coral species in the Florida Keys, conducting critical research on whale sharks and beluga whales, and rescuing marine animals displaced by hurricanes and coastal disruptions.
It’s a model of how large-scale water systems can operate sustainably while advancing science, conservation, and public understanding—all in front of 2.5 million visitors each year.
Big water systems don’t have to waste water. This is what solutions look like.
