Growing Water
The project envisions Chicago’s evolution into a model city for “growing water” by creating a series of Eco-Boulevards that function as a giant Living Machine – treating the city’s waste and storm water naturally, using micro-organisms, small invertebrates such as snails, fish, and plants. Treated water will be returned to the Great Lakes Basin and create a closed water loop within Chicago.
