OBJECTIVE – MOLDING THE TERRAIN AND LETTING THE FLOOD WATER IN, ALSO CONTROLLING THE STORM WATER RUN-OFF LOCALLY SO THAT IT CONVERTS TO PATCHES OF ‘FLOATING ISLANDS’ AND IN RETURN EXTENDING THE EXISTING WETLANDS.
DESIGN INTENT – CHANNELIZING THE STORM/FLOOD WATER TO AND FROM THE RIVER RESPECTIVELY AND DECREASING THE RUN-OFF TIME FOR THE SAME TO CREATE ALTERNATE HIGHLANDS AND LOWLANDS. AND THIS WOULD RESULT IN GRADUAL EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING WETLANDS. THIS PATCHES OF HIGHLANDS AND LOWLANDS VARYING IN HEIGHT CAN BE EXPERIENCED BY THE AMOUNT OF STORM AND FLOOD WATER. THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WETLAND IS DIVIDED GENERALLY INTO A FORE-BAY , STORM-WATER CHANNEL , MICRO POOLS , EMERGENCY SPILLWAY , TABLELANDS ( FLAT-TOP HIGHLANDS) , LOWLAND AREA.
