THE REBIRTH OF KAREZ

Ecological solution

This solution was designed to solve the problem of underground aqueducts (kariz) becoming drier. The location of the solution is in Turpan Basin, Xinjiang Province, China. In the middle of the unit, MOF materials and wind power are used to condense water and supply it to the kariz, taking advantage of the large temperature difference between day and night in the Turpan area. There is a folding groundwater replenisher at the top of the device to ensure water collection from the air.

JURY STATEMENT

This is a great initiative with wide application due to increasing water shortages. The rebirth of the kariz has a technical foundation that reinforces the concept.

WINNER STATEMENT

Thank you iF for giving us this honor. We are always looking for solutions from different disciplines, hoping that this idea will help to restore the local culture and physical landscape.
