    We collect rainwater in a man made pond, and use it for drinking and irrigation, we have about 300 nut & fruit trees, and a bit of a kitchen garden. We pump to 12,000 gallons of elevated tanks, giving us 60PSI water and irrigation timers start at 5am and run thru 3pm

        Slow sand filter and then stored in a 1,500 gal tank with an Ozone bubbler
