'Archipelago' from Monolab is a conceptual IT center/water purification plant designed for Northern India. Normally, IT centers and water purification plants aren't found at the same address, but Monolab has designed 'Archipelago' specifically to help clean up the River Yamuna.
'Archipelago' from Monolab would be built in the shallow wetlands of the River Yamuna. Water would be diverted into 'Archipelago' where it would be cleaned by man-made and artificial means, and then released down river. Check out conceptual designs of 'Archipelago' in the gallery.
