Abstract: This paper presents an approach to incorporate sustainable urban water management in areas that combines rural and urban areas, identified as peri-urban areas, by repurposing an existing irrigation channel into a dynamic water feature. A comprehensive hydraulic analysis of the proposed water feature transformation, designed in collaboration with a landscape architect, was done to assess its feasibility. The boulders along the water feature, designed as weirs, were strategically positioned in the field not only to enhance aesthetic value but also functionality. The integration of hydraulic engineering and landscape design in this water feature design displays a seamless harmony between the two fields offering insights into sustainable urban water management practices.
