Mine Reclamation

Extracted and exhausted land, depleted water levels and natural resources near Salaulim dam, Goa created barren patches of land and abandoned mines, with scarce vegetation and highly concentrated wastewater. Reclamation by reforestation and water treatment of this particular mine is one of the ways to bring back life and connect back with its greater ecology. The designed system running through proposed Sheds, a Lab, Hostel, Greenhouse and other recovery experiments with a water treatment plant collectively lead towards a speculative future of multiple experimenting and learning possibilities.
