It's a beautiful structure rising out of nowhere on the edge of a dambo. Quite the sight to see!
The tank is fitted with an inflow pipe just above and overflow pipe. The overflow is directed back into the well to prevent excessive groundwater losses in the event that the tank is full and the farmer is not prepared to use any water.
Ideally, the farmer would begin irrigating before the tank overflows so as not to waste any wind energy cycling water through the tank.

Keep checking in next week to see the results!
