Here is the quick review of it.
Step 1 : After the installation of the windmill followed by a ready made plastic tank at 15 feet. For this we fabricated an iron frame. Initially it did not support the weight, later it was reinforced. From this overhead tank of 1000 liters, water is sometimes directly taken for irrigation using the green hose. Otherwise overflow should go to the large cement tank
Step 2 : We constructed a simple water Tank of large capacity (30 feet x 10) feet with unfinished bricks on the outer wall. Water from windmill will fall into this. Notice a small thin water flow at the end. Underneath this tank we can open the valve which will let the water to the rainwater tank through an underground PVC pipe that we had laid earlier.
The main water tank. windpump water will fall into this. I believe this is getting filled in one week now. This is full of moss growth. There are fishes in it. |
This is the open inlet to collect water from all directions and direct to the rainwater tank. It is in the place where you are standing. This is artificially made. Earlier the ground was flat. |
From this muddy tank, if we need to pump water, we need the kerosene engine pump which is kept ready.
I am afraid, with current generation rate of water, if we will be water positive or negative during peak summer. Crossing fingers and waiting. Subbu told that we need to sustain for atleast 2 more months? Why did he say 2 months? what will happen after that? Is he expecting rain or closing down of few patches ? Need to discuss further. I need to check the last year rain pattern.
We are anyway going to take risk by planting more plants. Hey where is Kandan ? Has he come from his sick bed. I wanted him to prepare sowing mappillai samba rice on a small patch.
