Philosophy DREVO Living Mountains

Traditional hydraulic engineering aims to divert water into the river and then to the sea as quickly as possible. The conceptDREVO Living Mountainsproposes the opposite approach: water should pass sequentially through nine natural cascades, where it is repeatedly used by ecosystems, purified, accumulated, and only then returned to the ocean.

In this modelMountain, forest, river, agricultural land, floodplain, coast and ocean are considered as a single self-regulating system, ensuring landscape sustainability, biodiversity conservation and adaptation to climate change over decades and centuries.
