Water Systems¶
Water is one of the main limiting factors for a resilient growing system.
This section documents how the project thinks about water capture, storage, distribution and efficient use.
Focus areas¶
- rainwater harvesting;
- water tanks and intermediate storage;
- gravity-fed and pumped irrigation;
- drip irrigation and low-loss delivery;
- overflow paths and drainage;
- water reuse where practical;
- monitoring moisture and water demand.
Design goals¶
- Reduce dependence on constant manual watering.
- Store enough water for dry periods.
- Deliver water close to plant roots.
- Avoid erosion, runoff and waste.
- Connect irrigation decisions to real field observations.
