Then we also wanted to look at other ways of using land in addition to growing food and transforming landscape into much more productive uses, so that it could be used for storm water management, for example, by using surface lakes and retention ponds, that created neighborhood amenities, places of recreation, and actually helped to elevate adjacent property levels.
我们也在考虑 除了种植作物以外的土地利用方式， 希望把土地规划得 更具生产效率。 比方说，一些地块可通过建造人工湖和蓄水池 来建立雨水管理系统； 可以设立社区便利设施、 娱乐设施， 切实地提高 附近居民的生活水平。
