Breaking new ground

For the first time, a private vineyard has been planted in La Clusaz, France, thanks to the vision and determination of local resident Fabien Merotto. Owning a piece of land at the foot of the Aravis mountains—and being a devoted wine enthusiast—Fabien wondered: Could wine truly be grown at 4,000 feet in the French Alps?

Golf courses worldwide are facing increasing challenges related to water conservation, climate extremes, and the need for sustainable outdoor spaces. The Royal Antwerp Golf Club (RAGC), Belgium’s oldest club known for preserving and nurturing its heritage courses, has once again raised the bar – this time, as the first golf course in Belgium to install Exlterra's GEPS (Groundwater Energy Passive System).

Hazel Park recently went above and beyond by producing an independent documentary that captures our company’s mission to address stormwater management, advance water conservation, improve agriculture, and fight pollution. The documentary, a direct result of the city's enthusiasm for innovative environmental technologies and real-world solutions, showcases Exlterra’s origins and focus on improving the world around us.

Water needs to move through soil for healthy plants, stable foundations, and effective stormwater management. But in many places, water can’t get into the soil volume as it should. This is usually due to the type of soil, how the soil is arranged, or the way different soil layers interact. Below, we explain the main reasons why soil infiltration is often poor and how Exlterra's Groundwater Energy Passive System (GEPS) can help.

The Groundwater Energy Passive System (GEPS) by Exlterra is revolutionizing water management in turf and landscape environments, especially on golf courses. By enhancing soil-water interactions, GEPS delivers measurable improvements in water conservation, moisture retention, and sustainability - directly supporting environmental goals and significantly reducing the need and cost of irrigation.

Urban stormwater management faces critical challenges as cities expand, but Exlterra’s Groundwater Energy Passive System (GEPS) offers an innovative solution. This technology maximizes infiltration in space-constrained environments while ensuring environmental safety and can be used standalone or alongside existing low-impact development (LID) systems...
