Plans have been revealed for what would be the world’s most picturesque sewage treatment plant.
And the hope is that people will use it as an education resource while the design itself intends to keep smells to a minimum.
The project , which is now under construction, boasts that it “reframes essential infrastructure as a vital component of the public realm.”
The water treatment facility is to be built at the southern edge of a park in the Saudi Arabian city of Riyadh.
It is part of the kingdom’s Saudi Vision 2030 project to transform the oil rich country into a sustainable world tourist destination.
Located at the King Salman Park, the complex, spanning 137,736 square meters, becomes part of green space's daily life.
Storage tanks are shaped like giant bowls within planted corridors.
Above ground, green roofs and shaded pedestrian pathways extend the park’s plant life, supporting biodiversity.
A spokesperson for architects Omrania said this reinforces the sense that the treatment plant is a living part of the park, “not a hidden utility.”
The complex consists of sewage and water treatment plus a treated sewage effluent facility.

No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.
Yorkshire Water says it has spent more than £100m in recent years improving local processing facilities.
Meanwhile, the sewage keeps coming. A massive discharge near Blackpool on Tuesday comes after 69,000 such events last year across the UK’s north-west from United Utilities. Yet the company still found the money to pay £300m in dividends to shareholders.

No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.
Yorkshire Water says it has spent more than £100m in recent years improving local processing facilities.
Meanwhile, the sewage keeps coming. A massive discharge near Blackpool on Tuesday comes after 69,000 such events last year across the UK’s north-west from United Utilities. Yet the company still found the money to pay £300m in dividends to shareholders.
Swimmers from various sea swimming groups , including Swim Blast, M.A.L.L.O.W.S, Lytham Dippers and Cleveleys Crazies sit on the beach in Blackpool at sunset . The group would normally take an evening swim but Blackpool Council have said that swimmers should not swim at beaches along its coast after raw sewage was released in to the Irish Sea , reportedly as a consequence of a storm , earlier this week

No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.
The sun has been shining on Scarborough's South Bay all week, but Steve Crawford isn't opening up the surf shop he's so proud of because the water isn't safe to swim in.
Poor water quality linked to pollution has been a problem here for many years. But this is the first time Crawford has had to shut completely.
In a place like Scarborough, summer really matters: this is when the town comes alive, with donkeys and colourful bucket-and-spade shops filled with excited children.
But here and across the country, just as Britain’s beaches should be filling up, sewage and pollution are shutting them down.
The figures are alarming. Between 15 May and 30 September last year, sewage was dumped into designated bathing waters more than 5,000 times. There were an average of 825 sewage spills every single day into England's waterways in 2022.

No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.
Yorkshire Water says it has spent more than £100m in recent years improving local processing facilities.
Meanwhile, the sewage keeps coming. A massive discharge near Blackpool on Tuesday comes after 69,000 such events last year across the UK’s north-west from United Utilities. Yet the company still found the money to pay £300m in dividends to shareholders.

Blackpool Council have said that swimmers should not swim at beaches along its coast after raw sewage was released in to the Irish Sea , reportedly as a consequence of a storm , earlier this week

No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.
The sun has been shining on Scarborough's South Bay all week, but Steve Crawford isn't opening up the surf shop he's so proud of because the water isn't safe to swim in.
Poor water quality linked to pollution has been a problem here for many years. But this is the first time Crawford has had to shut completely.
In a place like Scarborough, summer really matters: this is when the town comes alive, with donkeys and colourful bucket-and-spade shops filled with excited children.
But here and across the country, just as Britain’s beaches should be filling up, sewage and pollution are shutting them down.
The figures are alarming. Between 15 May and 30 September last year, sewage was dumped into designated bathing waters more than 5,000 times. There were an average of 825 sewage spills every single day into England's waterways in 2022.
Signs on the beach in Scarborough, north Yorkshire. The water quality in Scarborough is poor due to the impact of sewage being discharged into the sea.
