Gravity Fed Irrigation Drip

(CCAT)

Project Purpose

• Provide irrigation to four terraced garden beds

using simple, intuitive technology.

• Use water captured during rain storms to supply

the system with adequate water.

• Utilize the portable water lines and numerous

emitters to sufficiently cover the garden.

Usage

• Intended to be used during the

summer months.

• Water is pumped through the

system for 20 minutes, 2-3 times

a week.

Project Update

• System was recently retrofitted

with new connectors, lines and

emitters.

• Water is fed through the lines

with a garden hose now.

Possible Improvements

• Use water from the existing

rainwater catchment system.

(Located literally 10ft from

irrigation connector)

• Create a new rainwater

catchment system and tie that

into the irrigation system.
