Its presence allows the thriving of cultivable land and livable flora and fauna. The utilitarian aspect of water is preserved and boosted. Likewise water’s role will be translated into sensitive interventions within the public realm space.

1) Water as a fundamental resource - This design provides appropriate connectivity to water resources and also uses water as means of transport.

2) Water as leisure - Water has always been fascinating for people Generating activities around water and in water is another goal this proposal achieves
