Water and Soil
Water is crucial for any living system and we always begin by looking at where our water will be coming from and how we can ensure a constant supply of water throughout the year.
Water security and soil care are closely linked, as how we care for our soil determines how much water our land can hold, what we can grow and for how long, and soil health is an important indication of the overall health of a natural system.
These are the areas we work with:
Rainwater Harvesting
Usage and harvesting potential calculations
Guidance on appropriate systems
Linking with vendors
Water Storage
Capacity calculations and suggestions
Grey and Blackwater Management
Volume calculations
Guidance on site-appropriate systems e.g. constructed wetlands, mulch pits, baffle tanks etc
Linking with vendors
Irrigation Techniques
Water-usage calculations
Guidance on water-saving dryland irrigation techniques
Stormwater management
