Water use
and water sensitive
The water
sensitive urban design strategy for green square is to make best use of public
domain areas to storm water. The recycle water system is developed for
supplying of non-potable water due to extraction of low flows from culvert and
treatment centralized within a plant facility.
All the
storm water run off from the private domain. These water is treated and harvested
in local area for father reducing the demands by providing treated water for
irrigation of the private domain.
