This project uses an integrated approach to give the area a socio-economic boost, improve the water management and increase the ecological value by enabling the establishment of a more diverse nature.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Traditional design<\/div>\n

In a traditional project only the water management problem would be considered and solved with a technical solution (which would probably be a new pumping station). Other aspects of the region, such as the socio-economical situation, would be addressed in other projects by other institutions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
