Before proposing

Diagnose.

Septic tanks, waterways, springs, catchments, reservoirs, risks and paths are read as connected layers. The map turns evidence into a shared decision framework.

From map to action.

Spring protection, riparian restoration, wastewater treatment, selective collection and educational routes form an integrated agenda for conservation and learning.
