PLAN
+Greer, New Vision
Greer, Arizona is a quiet mountain village used by many in Arizona and used as a summer place for Phoenix and Tucson for escape from the Sonoran Desert’s heat. In recent years, many residences would like Greer frozen in time, but growth is coming and pressure of growth facing the town. If Greer must face the pressures of growth, how can it do so responsibly, without losing its charm?

Landscape Architecture +Urban Revitalization Strategies in Muscat, Oman +Development Process for a Sample Neighborhood
1200 liter per day an unit occupy with 8 person
1200 X 60 =72000 liter per day
The Muscat is an arid city with rapidly developing economy and a high population growth rate. Together, they have increased the demand for freshwater. Reusing greywater is one the solution for this demand. Greywater has been used to promote sustainable development and resource conservation without compromising public health and environmental quality. The grey water can be used mostly for irrigation of landscape which is enhance the quality of life area and can reduce the urban an heat island.
