Why? The Concept of Revilatization.
Pi?a is a city famous for its extensive green spaces. In Pi?a there are many primary, secondary and higher level schools. Pi?a has a crystal, clear "tap water". The combination of health topic and water can once again promote the city and help to restore function of an old pumping station.

Green + Education + Pump
– Let's learn ecology from scratch.
– Let's get closer to biology in practice. 
– Let's promote an „eco”attitude through practical education from the basics, not as a fashion.
