Family Gardens - Filtration System

Remember the family garden project we're working on? Kiara and I (Liz) continue to meet with three different groups each week. These pictures show us making a simple gray water filtration system. We used a big blue barrel and pvc pipe. We fill the bottom 1/5 of the barrel with gravel and the next 3/5 with sand. The last 1/5 we leave for a small metal bucket with holes punched in the bottom - where the gray water gets poured in and falls like rain onto the sand. The plan is that people will filter their water after washing dishes, clothes and taking baths, and use the filtered water for the drip irrigation in their gardens. Step by step. Or this time, drop by drop.
P.S. Isaiah got to go along when we made the filters at one of the communities. He really got into the whole process and helped people measure and cut the pvc. He also marked the "grava" (gravel) and "arena" (sand) levels on the outside of the barrels with marker. It's great to broaden our team.
