Area : 10 Acre
Status : Concept Proposal
This Holding Pond in Kopar Khairane is one of many holding ponds in Navi Mumbai, which were created during the formative years of this satellite city in 1980s.
These holding ponds act as a buffer between the storm water drain and the creek, i.e. holding the storm water during rains and release it after the high tide recedes, preventing flooding of the area.
These spaces are currently disused and sometimes misused as dumping grounds. SDM Architects proposed to convert these spaces into beautiful public parks without affecting their function as holding ponds.
While the initial response from the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation was positive, further steps are awaited.
