Aim Restore ecosystem dynamics and natural vegetation
Aim Improve safety, reduce light pollution and energy consumption
Solution Remove any invasive flora species and plant the edges of the khawr with native grasses and bushes. Employ, if necessary, soil bioengineering techniques, such as use of natural fibre geotextiles, to control soil erosions along newly reconstituted slopes.
Solution Opt for energy efficient LED spotlights, integrated into the new route through the khawr, in order to illuminate it evenly but discretely, so as not to impact any nocturnal fauna that might live nearby.
