Design issues
the site suffers an acute water shortage.. the design proposal therefore should look into this aspect..
These are photographs of the site in November. We were there yesterday and the water level was far below. It wasn't so green either.

Fairly urbanized. They practice agriculture and work in the city.
In future this 1700 Hectares of land surrounded by the city holds a lot of potential.
