Flooding caused by climate change is a global phenomenon. Forecasts for the potential flood risk to The River Mersey in the North West of England require an innovative and sustainable response. This project aims to control tidal and fresh water as well as rain water fluctuations by creating a “room” at Wigg Island landfill site in Halton, Cheshire, which can absorb these changes.
The project utilises the concept of a water park to create a publicly accessible multi functional space at the contaminated former landfill site. As well as enhancing natural habitats, the park offers a variety of activities such as water cleansing and harvesting, fishing and bird-watching as well as energy generation.
