- “Water Receptacles” that we built under ground cover fill up with water at the end of winter. There is no need to plough our soil and to crumble roots of our fruits for weathering, because water was absorbed, air was released and hydraulic forces completed their functions. Soil becomes rough and water harvesting happens.
- Water Receptacles should be built up by calculating some factors like the number of drought days, average temperature, and water consumption of our plant.
- “Water Receptacles”, accurately calculated, designed and implemented, prevent dehydration of soil at a certain depth during arid days.
- Utilization of harvested water is provided by the surface tension of sand and with capillar affect. As the soil 20 – 40cm above of water receptacles according to the nature of soil losses its moisture, it takes water from receptacle. And thus a non-drying area is created. There is neither evaporative water nor water loss going down deep. As the soil gets hot, water content ascending from “water receptacle” increases and thus natural heat stability is ensured.
- Depending upon volume of water consumed by plant, such amount is substituted from “water receptacle”.
- If “water receptacle” with a volume of 2,5 – 3 cubic meters in total is formed for a sapling, it is possible to harvest around 1 cubic meter, namely approximately 1 ton water.
- Such a large “water receptacle” may be suitable for a tree consuming too much water.
