Revitalizing the Amanishah Nala Drain

Situated northwest of Jaipur city, the Amanishah Nala Drain is critical to the water and sewage management of Jaipur as it connects the upward stream from the Aravalli Hills to the downward stream of the Dravyavati River. This site is most vulnerable due to the downstream accumulation of waste, inaccessibility of employment, social vulnerability between income classes, and the lack of clean and safe public amenities. In response, this project proposes two design phases with waste incentives, water purification strategies, public amenities, a productive urban farm, and a remediation park.
