Treating waste water responsibly
| Although the water provision in the children’s village is well planned, clean water remains a scarce commodity where care is needed. The waste water also needs to be processed. Therefore the shower and washing water will be used to flush the toilets. The flushed waste water will be collected in two consecutive septic tanks and then cleaned further by a soak away. When the cleaned water eventually disappears into the land, it will no longer be polluted, so that the wells 80 metres further up will not be contaminated. | ||
| Rain water | ||
| The water in Mkuranga doesn’t only come from the land, but also from the air, and sometimes an awful lot! To ensure that there is no damage to buildings or land during the monsoon season, the rain water is collected and drained away as much as possible. This is achieved by collecting the rain water from the roofs in guttering and the water on the ground via a system of drainage channels. | ||
| Where the buildings are not connected to each other, they are linked by covered walkways, so that the children’s village can also function well during the rainy season. These centrally located walkways will be built above the central drain, whereby you actually ‘walk on water’. | ||
| Irrigation | ||
| Eventually we plan to construct more tanks where the rainwater can be collected from the central drainpipes. This water store can then be used for irrigation of ca. 10 hectares of land around the children’s village. The income from crops can then be increased, enabling the village to cover part of its running costs. | ||
