1. The site and the surroundings The site is 170,375 m2, it is located in Clifton, Salford, Manchester.

The flood risk area Areas below 45m above sea level have been identified as a high risk flood areas, while areas below 50m have been estimated as having a low risk of flooding. Major flooding as occurs once in 100 to 1000 years would seriously influence the sewage system, the community and the lake ecosystem.

N

2. Design solution Change the Course of River The course of the River Irwell will be changed to a more direct route to create a stronger protection for the lake ecosystem in Clifton Country Park.

Developoing floodplain Different degrees of floodplains will be introduced to the site, based on the original topography and the level of flood risk.

N

Raise up the additional protection The northern part of the site is raised to lead the water into the river, in order to prevent it entering the sewage system.

The edge of the site will be raised to create better capacity for flooding.

Filtration pond arrangement A series of filtration ponds are introduced to form a wetland system on the site to increase the capacity for flooding and to act as a natural filtrater for treated sewage.

Filtration ponds The filtration pond system re-filtrates the water that has already been treated once in the sewage work. There are three stages in the filtration pond system. The ratio of the capacity between each pond is: stage 1 : stage 2 : stage 3 = 1:8:5. The system would be able to process 1,500m3/day, which is the amount produced by 10,000 people per day in a small town.

Additional benefits The solids extracted from the sewage work could be used as a fertilizer to improve the soil quality of farmland. The filtration ponds could be developed into aquatic farmland, producing edible fish and vegetables for visitors.

Visitor services New visitor service facilities including a visitor centre, parking area, swimming pool and a filtration pond system sample will be located in four disused sewage filtration ponds. The visitor centre and the parking area will have the ability to float to prevent flooding

The route system Two disused bridges will be rebuilt to connect the community with its social infrastructure, which are located on the opposite side of the river.Two new bridges will be built toward the Clifton Country Park, creating a new entrance.

A much wider and safe primary route will connect the community and the Clifton country park A secondary route will provide a riverside walkway and bicycle route to increase recreational use. A service road will provide vehicle access to the aquatic farmland and parking.

Accessibility of the woodland A of range of woodland will be introduced to the site according to its accessibility.

N

Dense woodland The densest woodland area will have the most major restoration function, as well as be a limited access area that blocks the view of the sewage work, service road and first filtration pond on the site.

N

Open woodland Open woodland will be located where visitors pass most frequently. The open spaces in the woodland are designed to increase the recreational use of the site, such as for dog walking and camping.

Grassland Meadow

N

Grassland and meadow A large area of grassland is located between the school and the residential area, forming an important part of the community park that enables residents to engage in all kinds of recreational use.

Meadow will link the open woodland and dense woodland, creating a different kind of habitat and forming an open, safe environment for students.

The forest school With a number of different types of landscape near the school, the school will have the potential to implement a forest school program. The two areas located opposite the school can become farmland for primary school students. Students can plant whatever they want when they learned from the woodland. As a result, the new developed park will increase the function of the education system, transforming it from a simple teaching environment into one suitable for learning and enacting.

Increase mobility

Islands

Unified route

Unified system

Increase mobility and land area - stage one Several bridges will overcome the barriers caused by the ponds. At the same time, a number of little islands will be developed to increase recreational function, such as by acting as docks or fishing islands.

The concept of DNA is applied to design the islands and bridges as a unified system.

Fishing island Dock Increase mobility and land area - stage two As a result, applying route across each pond helps develop two types of island as well, fishing island and dock island.
