Future vision for water in the project.
In the near future, the main water source will be a yet-to-be-drilled well. The water from the well is pumped into various water reservoirs, from which we irrigate the water into the fields through irrigationpipes and hand-dug canals. Various drip systems will be integrated in the garden.
Natural water from north Morocco - received once or twice a year.
When it rains or snows a lot in the north of the country, the dams built in Ouarzazate & Adgz are opened and a part of the water can reach this region. This water runs slowly through canals and reaches our land several weeks later. We lead the water into our fields through several irrigationsystems.
1. The property
2. Rain- / melted snow water from northern Morocco running through the canals & irrigationsystems throughout the gardens.
3. Manually built water reservoirs, the future well & future water ponds.
4. The water is lead from the canals into parts of the land: the fields are filled with water for a few days. The palms drink and grass can start growing.
Regional rain - 2 to 3 days a year.
1. Regional rainwater in the fields.
2. With at least 2 days of heavy rain, the fields get watered thoroughly.
3. The fields stay wet for several days.
4. Grass, salads and wheat can grow again. The property changes from dry, barren land into green fields for a few weeks or a month (depending per season).
