Wav_ES
 

Project Description: The concept and purpose of Wav_ES is to bring attention and awareness of the importance of conservation, as well as making strides towards preserving and restoring water in natural ecosystems, as well as bustling urban areas. By creating a system for the control and sustainable management of the water cycle, Wav_ES aims to restore the presence of water to the public space, while also restoring both the physical and mental form of it to our everyday lives. The main goal is to design a modern-day solution for handling water that can be applied anywhere in the world that may suffer from either a lack or an abundance of precipitation.
