The diseases housed here are equipped with extremely simple ceramic filter sleeves Yet they will filter out every last trace of suspended particles in the water with extraordinary precision It's a holding tank with a capacity of just over 7.5 cubic meters—perfectly sufficient for a weekend cabin or a vacation hut It might be suitable for a single person with a water-saving lifestyle We have a counterweighted molding system It consists of a small pulley and a counterweight connected down to a floating batten And it will alert me when we need to pump water the float will gradually rise and press against the glass at that connection point And all the remaining clean water from that point onward will flow directly into the reservoir Water flowing over these two roof sections is channeled through a system of gutters and discharged right here Flow directly into this stone reservoir and the water will emerge here gradually seeping through the layer of stone Water will continue to flow into this area then naturally drain out through the final outlet and exit onto the sidewalk This plant is a flood-tolerant species native to wetlands yet it gains drought tolerance once established On our side we have mugwort which is similar in that regard Their roots will help rebuild the soil structure preparing it for plant roots to absorb moisture throughout prolonged dry seasons Hello I'm Geoff Lawton and I'll show you how we harvest rainwater in the cold How we collect clean and store water This is a cold-colored shrimp roof also known as a zinc-aluminum striped shrimp roof — an exceptionally excellent type of roof for collecting drinking water Clay tile roofs or concrete tile roofs are both excellent choices And here is a classic downspout—designed with a gentle slope toward the far end where the pipes will catch the flowing water Channel it through the upstream rainwater separation system then direct it straight into the potable water storage tank This is a very basic upstream rainwater harvesting system it is a widely available pre-fabricated device commonly found in Australia Water flowing down from the roof will first enter this storage chamber and then slowly drip out through this tiny tube There's also a small filter here and you can see a bit of dirty residue accumulating inside We refer to these as organic impurities Inside this compartment is a ball It's just a freely floating ball Water is flowing into the compartment faster than before The air slowly leaks out from that tiny tube causing the ball to gradually rise and seal the connection point And all the remaining clean water from that point onward would flow directly into the storage compartment once the rain stopped this compartment would drain completely And we managed to keep a small amount of dirty but useful residue Not much at all A remarkably simple system that works incredibly well Just open it occasionally and clean it out — I'll wash all the dirt and sand out of it That tiny little hole over there is what allows the water to slowly seep out preventing it from escaping too quickly So when we put them back together this piece will fit here and this one will fit there The ball is brought inside and this section is pushed upward from below and then tightly sealed You don't necessarily have to let the water flow straight down into the container it can flow downward in a loop and then curve back up As long as the inlet water point is higher than the point where water flows in simply ensure your overflow trough is positioned higher than the top of the reservoir Rainwater will automatically be pushed back up and flow into the system it would be extremely helpful if you designed a connection point like this at the lowest possible location You can attach a cactus cap there You can remove it to drain water And if any residue stirs inside you'll blast it all out in one decisive kick At the inlet of each tank there is a filter screen and a mesh layer to prevent leaves twigs or any wildlife from entering the interior This is a concrete reservoir with a capacity of approximately 90 cubic meters or 90 000 liters It's a spacious layout you can use for a large family home or even share between two adjacent houses Or it can serve as a water reservoir for irrigation on the farm especially if you're unable to use or construct a traditional water storage pond This is a large reservoir with a capacity of approximately 38 cubic meters or 38 000 liters It has the perfect size for a standard family home It could serve as a large-scale elevated water reservoir for a small community Or install elevated irrigation systems for crops This is a concrete reservoir with a capacity of over 7.5 cubic meters Well it's a bit small for the average family's usage and storage needs But it would be perfectly adequate for a weekend getaway house or a vacation cabin It might be suitable for a single person with a water-saving habit however it could also become an excellent high-capacity water storage solution That means you'll harness water pressure by positioning the reservoir higher than the final point of use If you want water pressure at least comparable to that of city mains you'll need to position the tank at a height of about 15 meters You can go much higher than that You can reach up to a staggering 60 meters Beyond that point you must design pressure-reducing stations in stages as you descend the slope Because most pipe-related lawsuits would not be able to withstand such high pressure Just like most reservoirs located on hills far from any immediate access you'll want to know when you need to pump more water up Therefore here we have a counterweighted molding system It consists of a small pulley and a counterweight connected down to a floating trim piece And it will let me know when we need to pump water because once this external part is pulled upward The inner barge sank down—it was simply a barge with a counterweight attached Therefore when the water level dropped The float and the weight inside will descend as the water level drops conversely as the water level inside gradually rises the float will rise And the outer pointer will drop down Just like the old sign here says Time to start pumping water This is a concrete water tank with a capacity of approximately two cubic meters and it's precisely the ideal size for an overhead water tank In an ordinary family home And if you want to filter water right at the final point of use The diseases housed here are equipped with extremely simple ceramic filter sleeves But they will filter out every last suspended particle in the water down to an extremely incredibly fine degree Thus at this filtration point there is absolutely no trace of impurities left in the water Alright here it is Crystalline distant breathtaking rainwater The most delicious water in the world Here we can see what this landscape looked like before—just a plain lawn Although it contains a few other grass species mixed in overall it remains a monotypic plant community The entire area is just a monotonous expanse of crops lacking structural diversity and abundant flowering And it didn't provide a single bit of habitable environment but now in this new landscape we've successfully grown around twenty different types of plants An immense biodiversity unparalleled until now When these trees began to grow and completely cover the space We will also have many other diverse structural layers derived from them and one of the most striking features of this water harvesting landscape is It's the rainwater collection system from the roof above with water naturally flowing from these two roof areas channeled through an underground ping system And let it flow right here Run straight into this stone-lined ditch That's why when it rains the water will pour out from here Seeping in and gradually penetrating through the rock layer In fact we designed a brick drainage channel Right beneath this small bridge And then the water will continue flowing down into this area pooling temporarily before gradually seeping into the ground layer And right here we have what is known as the spillway gate or overflow gate It is responsible for determining how high the water level will gradually rise Thanks to this design water can gradually rise to about 15–25 cm depending on the specific location within the water collection pit Water will engulf the entire area Seeping deeply into the ground Spreading horizontally through the surrounding soil layers And when the water level reaches that point it spills over this rocky ledge cascades down and repeats the same process in the second pool Then proceed to the third pit Finally if we experience a truly heavy downpour Water will gradually flow out through the final anal opening and exit via the rectal shelf Here we have several types of plants growing directly in the water collection pit this one is known as temple grass It is naturally a wetland plant but it does not require continuously flooded conditions it is a water-loving species Yet it has the potential to withstand drought once established On this side we have yarrow which is similar in that regard It can thrive in moderately moist conditions but can also withstand drought completely And these two types are both semi-desert plants native to the California region Right in this area Choosing the right plants is absolutely crucial For the function of such landscape systems because as these trees grow their roots help rebuild soil structure This significantly improves the soil's water absorption capacity meaning water can more easily penetrate deep into the underlying soil layers At the same time root pruning also helps the soil retain that moisture allowing these two plants to survive longer Ready for tree roots to absorb moisture throughout prolonged dry seasons Boats navigating this highland area We have planted a mix of half-shade trees Along with certain types of Mediterranean-climate plants These are all drought-tolerant plants arranged in a specific pattern to mic the ecosystem of a shrubby grassland We truly want to create a distinctive plant carpet so that when all these trees grow up and cover the space dome it will be a breathtaking sight It will look quite similar to what you typically see on natural hillsides with all plant species here exhibiting exceptional drought tolerance Thus after the first 1-2 growing seasons when the plant has established a strong root system and stabilized it will hardly need or require very little watering Artificial irrigation support Although they are currently still connected to the drip irrigation system To help young plants stay upright Especially in the case of missing the usual seasonal rains We are genuinely encountering landscapes that have not yet realized their true potential—places that typically require substantial resources to maintain We collaborate with clients to transform those spaces into a multifunctional system Not only highly aesthetic but also genuinely replenishing and revitalizing the local natural ecosystem In this case we start with a standard garden lawn which constantly requires watering to stay fresh Yet this lawn is rarely used by the homeowner It provides no habitat for wild animals or beneficial insects So we completely tore up the entire lawn and gave it a full makeover Now we have these excellent water-harvesting pits that help retain all the rainwater right on our land Alongside this is a diverse collection of drought-resistant plant species perfectly suited to the local climate Have a wonderful day If you find this video helpful please give it a like subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications for
