Sanken Wetland

Planning and Design of Sanken Wetland Ecological Park

To utilize the abundant nature resources from the site.

To incoporate the core value of local history.

Site Analysis

There are many entrances in the site; however, they are very unorganized. The pedestrain pathways close to the edge of the site require more proctection from direct sunlight.

Most parts of the plants are in bad condition and isolated.

In the future planting plan can be arranged with several sections.

Most of the plants in this area are Taiwanese native nectariferous plants They will be preserved at the future planning.

Ecological And Environmental Issue

The Dahan River originates from the source of Pintian Mountain (Takejin River), which is the drainage area of Shimen Reservoir. The middle and lower reaches of the river are plateaus, and alluvial plain is the river estuary of Danshui River. The affluents include Yongfu River and Sanxia River

Water Pollution Issue

Improper development at hillside drainage area of dahan river. The electroplating factorys are the majority. The peach from Lala Mountain have been affected because the soil and water were polluted by pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.

Ecological wetland for Education of sustainable development

Preserve the nectariferous plants to proctect the habitat of birds

Use Aquatic Plants To Enhance The Biological Purification Function ability

Clean and comfortable water environment

Ecologically Sustainable Development Plan: To restore and protect the ecological native species

To conserve the the original ecological environment, we preserve nectariferous plant to attract birds first.

Second, the decorative and shade-tolerant plant are considered.

Biological Purification System

The circulation of flowing water and the plant filtration system

Biological purification ecosystem :

Arranging gravel and establishing plant filtration system to achieve the cleaning effect.

Site Analysis

Ecoloical and Environmental Issue

Common issues are the food production, from agricultural cultivation, harvesting, sorting, packaging, transportation to processing, sales, cooking, eating and the swill treatment.

All of these issues are concerned of greenhouse gas emission that would lead to serious global warming and climate change.

Sustainable agriculture : utilizing farming methods that promote soil health and reduce reliance on fossil fuels for environmental sustainability.

Biological Purification System

It mimics the water purification function of the natural ecosystem to construct a biological filtration system. When the wastewater goes into the storage area for filtering , the solid precipitates and dissolve nutrients could be removed, then the aquatic plants can filter out some of the metal substances.

The nutrients will be left in the fish ponds to supply the fish, then clean water will irrigate the soil. After that birds and insects will spread the seeds.

The Vegetable Farm

This is a planting area for the production of spices and edible plants. It is mainly planted with some herbal medicines and perennial plants and annual plants.

The Outdoor Theater for Some Static Activities.

We keep the space for peacock, which can be a viewing area. In this area, these nectariferous plants attract insects that helps pollinate plants to reproduce.

The Main Production area of The Farm.

Each part is mainly planted with different staple foods and vegetables that have a longer growth period. Some parts of this area have been set up with some tent-shaped rellis to plant melons.

In addition, we organized an indoor space to place the farm tools.

The Shaded Picnic and Playground Area

The shaded picnic and playground area features facilities that are combined with landscape changes. Since the area is close to the road, we use bushes and shrubs to separate the road and the playground; However, the site can sill be seen from the driveway.

The Environment Contains Wastewater Purification System

The environment circulates contains wastewater purification area. Also this is the site point upon entering this farm. Most parts are planted with water purification plants and waterside plants.
