Project Summary
From a flood-prone parcel of communal land, the Ecological river remediation park creates a public park, and more – an ecosystem, cultural center and commercial market garden – in a partnership involving local farmers, public authorities and NGOs. A series of lakes biologically treats waste-water, provides fishing opportunities and gives water birds a home.
