The project proposes a system of rainwater harvesting techniques on an urban scale intervention that can promote water conservation and harvesting. Studies suggest that rainwater collection techniques have been successful in ways that can conserve water, increase groundwater aquifer levels, promote sanitation and have direct impacts on climate change effects that uplifts low income squatter settlements.
The design proposal is aiming at low cost implementation, long term benefit - resilient, adequate maintenance while associating with stakeholder participation. The design is modular in ways that can be seen as a fabricated plug-in that can be funded by CSR opportunities to uplift the communities while NGO’s and community can involve actively in maintenance and project implementation phasing.
