The water square combines water storage with the improvement of the quality of urban public space. The water square can be understood as a twofold strategy. It makes money invested in water storage facilities visible and enjoyable. It also generates opportunities to create environmental quality and identity to central spaces in neighborhoods. Most of the time the water square will be dry and in use as a recreational space.

Kestävän kehityksen ratkaisut:
After the rain, the water of the two undeep basins flows into an underground infiltration device and from here gradually seeps back into ground water. Thereby the ground water balance is kept at level and can also cope with dry periods. This helps to keep the city trees and plants in good condition which helps to reduce urban heat island effect.
