Water Harvesting

After evaluating several different design ideas for the water harvesting project, we were finally prepared for implementation last week. After working with the family at the project site, we were unsuccessful in getting participation from members of the family or neighbors that may be able to utilize excess harvested water. A meeting has been arranged between the parnter organization, VEDCO, and the family so that the role of the SEED volunteers will be more properly communicated to the family. Assuming this is successful, the project will proceed as planned and shall be completed within the next two or three weeks.

The final design is a clay-lined detention basin that will be surrounded by thorny bushes to prevent animals and children from falling in.
