Overall Community View

Photobucket

Above the village will be a dam and a pavilion. The Pavilion is colored gold and will be equipped with a rain catchment system. We may also have a well with a pump to fill the water tank as well. The water in the tank will be used to provide a gravity fed water system to the community house and may also be used to fight fires. It will not be potable. All potable water will be produced on an as needed basis via solar still. The dam water will be used to water the garden. The pond below the house will be a greywater oasis. If we are low on water we can build a second dam (the one on the right), which would be filled naturally and via solar pump from the greywater pond. This would only be used to water appropriate vegetation.
