RELEVANT CASE STUDIES – WATER PURIFICATION PROJECTS IN URBAN CONTEXT.

Water is interwoven with the city of Khulna on different levels and in different scale. The water network knows a strong hierarchy: the river, dens network of waterways in the South-East of the city, the ponds within.
This strong hierarchy and presence in the city can be reflected in the approach of water purification within the city. In other words it can be introduced in different scales and levels. It can be interwoven in the lagooning of the natural landscape. Within the city it can be incorporated in de reviewing of the post-industrial sites.

In local scale water treatment can be introduced in residential neighborhoods linked to the ponds. Water treatment can generate open and public space.
