Suha Taranum | Lakes are an important part of an urban ecosystem as they play a major role in the environmental, social and economic services.
Project description
Project idea
The design strategy involves uplifting the water quality and improving the physical dimensions of the lake. It also involves understanding the socio-cultural fabric, the urban context, the ecological impact, economic viability, political will, and community participation.
Need for the project
