regenerative soil farming for thriving economy

rain WATER COLLECTION

ROOFTOPS: GUTTERS
GROUND:  SWALES
Swales slow run-off and create a passive irrigation system for the land.

There are a lot of different designs for rainwater storage tanks; and many configurations and set-ups. But if you want the best rainwater catchment system, dig a swale, and a pond, if you can.

A swale will soak rain right into the soil where it belongs. It will stop water from running down the slope and off your property; and will spread it out evenly across the landscape, so you don’t have any soggy spots.

A comprehensive guide to use and construction of swales, click here.
