One of the biggest challenges of running a farm is watering your crops. At Aanandaa Permaculture farm, we use a combination of rainwater management and irrigation pipes to keep our plants watered round the year.

We dug the borewell at the highest point on the land. After that, we laid a pipe network leading from the borewell down to the lowest point of the land. This network spans over 700 feet. Wherever we need to water the plants, we simply open put a hosepipe on the tap, open it and start watering.

The big trees and the food forest is mostly watered by the rainwater, which we sequester and harvest every monsoon.
