To tackle water pollution issue in the Everglades, the project proposes a phased, cost-efficient alternative and improvement to existing expensive treatment infrastructures. The Drainage Filter re-channels the storm runoff by utilizing public-owned properties and the water will be collected and treated before arriving at its destination, the Everglades. The Drainage Filter creates a planning framework that benefits water quality, enhances living experience and preserves equestrian lifestyle through an aesthetic, dynamic, cultural and functional approach.
