He introduces a functional natural ecosystem which contains a diversity of species in accordance with their natural environmental, cultural and geographical setting. The water quality is being upgraded through water purification process using plant absorption and micro-organism activities. Users are also being educated regarding clean water protection and sustainable mode of movement hence this design highlights the true riverine vibrant environment when enhanced with green area to improve human and wildlife activities.
