Cosecha de agua con hafirs
Harold Msanya
Extracto:
Asegúrese de que el sistema de salida esté diseñado, instalado y conectado correctamente para regular la liberación de agua desde el hafir con eficiencia y seguridad. El sistema de salida debe ser fuerte, fácil de operar y apropiado para los requisitos específicos del uso del reservorio, ya sea para riego, ganado o uso humano. Tiene que ser accesible para que se inspeccione y dé mantenimiento con regularidad. Incluya mecanismos para limpiar desechos u obstrucciones sin tener que necesitar equipo complejo o una perturbación significativa para el reservorio. Integre un desagüe o vertedero de emergencia cerca de la salida para evacuar el excedente de agua durante precipitación fuerte o inundación, reduciendo el riesgo de daño al reservorio o a la infraestructura circundante. Adecúe el sistema de salida en función del uso principal del hafir. Por ejemplo, una estructura de salida de varios niveles puede servir a varias necesidades, como agua para riego en un nivel y para ganado en otro.
From the Farm: Permanent Raised Beds at ECHO North America 2024-12-10
Utilizing raised beds has been a critical component to a successful seed production program for our Seed Bank at ECHO North America. For years we have followed the industry standard practice of temporary raised beds covered with plastic mulch. With no real use for the plastic after the year’s production cycle, we would begrudgingly discard the plastic in the garbage. The effort, expense, tillage, and waste in re-raising beds each year started us on a quest to find a more appropriate solution: is there a better option out there?
To answer this question, we are testing various designs for permanent raised beds. For the first round of testing, we have built beds out of six different materials: bamboo, recycled metal roofing, wood, concrete block, earthbag, and ferrocement. While initial investment cost is a major factor, the expected useful life, maintenance costs, usable growing area, and productivity of each bed will be important considerations.
After an evaluation period, we hope to convert much of our Seed Bank production into permanent raised beds. While we don’t expect one clear winner for all contexts, we hope some of the lessons we are learning in this process might help others determine what the best option might be for them. Stay tuned for more updates along the way!
