1. Drainage and water management are major challenges in Luanda, causing problems for urban flow and safety. Open drainage systems can help turn this problem into a resource.
2. An open drainage intervention is proposed, using active drains and storm-water pockets that function differently in dry and rainy seasons. This approach provides spatial qualities, access to water, and turns the drain into a social space.
3. Locally available materials like sandbags, gabon boxes, and sisal plants are proposed to construct drains and control erosion in a way that promotes local production and ecological solutions.
The document discusses water management interventions in Viana, Angola. It describes how open drainage systems and water collection can turn water problems into resources.

Graft versus host disease produces a total absence of mucosal folds in the small bowel, typically seen in the ileum rather than jejunum as seen in the image. This appearance is distinct from other potential diagnoses that may also cause small bowel abnormalities.
