First Year Design Challenge Forum

Hi,

I was wondering what sort of plants the irrigation system would be expected to water? Since it is for a garden 50 square metres in size I take it that it is for a small family garden where they may grow some small crops for food?

Also I believe there was recently a project carried out there to retrofit a water system or something. I was just wondering what kind of piping was used for this system? Was it some sort of imported PVC piping or was it something locally sourced? I am trying to work out if there are any suitable local trees or plants that could be easily used for piping but aren't having much luck finding out what actually grows there.

Finally I was just wondering what sort of rural enviroment the system is expected to be used in? I'm guessing we are talking small villages here I was just wondering if you can give me a rough indication of size as I was wondering about sharing the water source and such.

Thanks.
