# Along any dug dead level contour (which is your collection area) choose where you can construct your storage tank. All soils that allow rapid percolation the closer should be the storage tanks. This is because your soil quickly loses water and that's where your plants are likely to show signs of moisture stress during the dry spell.

# Measure along the channel the length of the tank you want and mark using pegs. Dig the marked area up to a further depth of 500cm or more. The deeper it is the more water will be harvested.

# All the tanks must have a non-permeable layer therefore a thicker layer may be required to avoid seepage and deep percolation.

# Mix termitaria with water to make mortar and plaster up to the marked root zone level of your deep-rooted crops.
