Holding Onto Water

The project aims at dealing with water scarcity and waterlogging due to the seasonal imbalance of water supply. The vision is to treat the excess water as an asset and provide clean drinking water to the community.
The project aims at implementing rainwater harvesting systems on different scales to fulfill the community’s need for potable water in public spaces as well as individual households. Replicable structures with underground water tanks will be deployed to create a uniform water supply system in order to store enough potable water for the community and also include treating the streets on site level to allow the water to percolate.
