Our garden July 2011
A View of the Terrace Area
A view from the hill
This is an overall view of the storage system. Note there are 2 tanks with a capacity of 275 gallons each. You can see the water level. It's about 1/4 full.
A closer view of the tanks. Note the valves and filter system (the black tube are attached to the green hose). It takes about 4-5 inches of rain to fill both barrels. The rain is collected from the roof of the house and everything works by gravity. When the system is full the water is redirected back to the down spouts. When I open the valve, it gravity feeds into the drip system to water the garden.
You can see the drip lines laid out to water the plants

Things are starting to get pretty dry here. We are praying for more rain and some cooler weather.
