Artificial Wetland to protect water in E.V.A. Lanxmeer district (a "green distric" named Lanxmeer, built at Culemborg, The Netherlands), wich is a recent (1994-2009) district (semi-public eco-building) of approximately 250 ecological houses, several offices and a urban farm. The project is based on "Sustainable Implant" with a spatial combinaison of natural systems,  technical approach of integrated waste (wastewater) / energy system  and écological and social purposes, for an urban neighborhood. <br>The district is in an ecologically sensitive area (former drinking waterextraction and retention area). The conception of this district is based on permaculture, and organic design, a small biogas installation (able to treate black water and organic waste and garden &amp; park waste), a combined Heat Power. Some houses are in closed greenhouse. A semi-public building (the ‘EVA Centre) should yet be made, based on the Living Machine concept.
