Project Summary
The project, Sanitation and river remediation, aims to rehabilitate the Sabinal River which is misused as the city’s sewage system. The water quality will be improved through a cascade of primary filter systems before entering urban wetlands. A green pedestrian corridor along the riverbank will reconnect city residents with the waterway, raising ecological awareness.
