SMALL RESERVOIR

WATER HUB - FIRE FIGHTING WATER AND IRRIGATION WATER

The site is located in the middle of the Cleveland Fire Department and Mora Volunter Fire Department, near the Mora river, which is based on the Osha Mountain of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.

The area has very small annual precipitation of 28 inches and most of the year is dry. Therefore, I would like to plan a small reservoir so that I can store water during the rainy season and use water during the dry season. In addition, in the event of a forest fire, it is planned to be able to extinguish the fire in connection with the Cleveland Fire Department and the Mora Volunter Fire Department.

In addition, water is provided for the surrounding farming during the dry season. Because there are many farming areas near this site, it seems to be effective.

Design Concept

The building embodies the shade created by trees in the forest and the afterimage that occurs when water droplets fall into the water. Except for the main building and two helicopter fire fighting water buckets, the circles act as collectors and block the sunlight in this sunny area, making it easier for community people to do outdoor activities here. Rainwater is collected through a collector and stored in an underground storage tank, and when used as agricultural or firefighting water, water is moved to a helicopter bucket using a pump or water flows into a waterway.
