This document analyzes the water resources on a property for developing a homestead. It includes:
1) A base map of the property created using GIS showing engineering drawings, aerial photos, soils, drainage, geology and flood zones.
2) Details on the local watershed, soils, impervious surfaces, ponds, wetlands and streams on the property.
3) Principles for sustainable water design including multiple sources, storage, filtration, quality matching use, and flow control.
4) The document applies these principles to the site, noting wells, ponds, forest filtration and tanks to store water for the home, barn and irrigation.

This is an independent report into the establishment of Christmas tree crops on one of the Greenwood Management forestry investment sites situated in York county, New Brunswick Canada. Greenwood Management have substantial investments in the region owning and operating three sites stretching from York county outside of the city of Fredericton New Brunswick through to Grand Falls in the North of the county.
Christmas trees are predominantly exported from the state of new Brunswick to the United states. Christmas trees have become a specialized tree crop over the years and breeding trees for slow growth has dramatically changed the way the tree foliage appears. In this forestry investment report the establishment of forestry crops on the York county site development is covered including land preparation and planting costs tailed for the project.
Further to the successful development of the York county site in New Brunswick Greenwood Management (GWM) expanded its activities converting two additional sites comprising of a further 300 acres.
It is therefore expected that Greenwood Management will account for approximately 6% of the total Christmas tree production in the state by 2018.
Alongside the company's already established forestry investment projects in Canada the company also owns and operates substantial farm forestry areas in the Bahia region of Brazil. Currently the company has approximately 5,000 hectares of plantation forestry in the state of Bahia and is expected to aggressively expand the company's forestry investment projects in the region over the next few years. Alongside this company also has an established horticultural division producing farm food crops for the domestic Brazilian market.

Combining Rainwater Harvesting with Water Features

Sustainable water features that captures, stores and utilizes rain water for more than looks. Harvested rainwater can be used
for watering plants, washing cars, topping off the pool and many other uses. Combining rainwater harvesting with a
decorative water feature provides habitat, healthy water and esthetics.

This is a presentation done by me for my class seminar :) .
Topic is based on Rainwater harvesting (Basic).(Not for commercial purposes)
Much useful for students . It contains better graphics and attractive images to make studies for students easier.

Community mobilization and institutional framework including monitoring mecha...India Water Portal
Over the last decade, demand for spring management has increased as traditional spring sources have started drying up or becoming contaminated. In response, communities, NGOs and state agencies began dedicated spring protection programmes. In the Himalayas, the State of Sikkim and organizations such as Central Himalayan Action and Research Group (CHIRAG) and People Science Institute (PSI) started identifying and protecting spring recharge areas around 2007. The difference between these programmes and many other previous efforts is that they went beyond supply-side improvements to focus on the use of hydrogeology to map springsheds for targeted interventions.
The Advanced Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (ACWADAM), a research and capacity-building organization comprised of hydrogeologists and other experts began lending their expertise and building capacity of stakeholders. ACWADAM provides technical support, training and materials in hydrogeology to all network partners as well as others in India and the region. Similar programmes began independently in most of the mountain regions of India. Arghyam, a funding organization that was supporting many of these programmes, noticed that these disparate initiatives shared commonalities despite geographic diversity. They thus organized and funded a meeting of these various organizations in June 2014, and the Springs Initiative was born.
The springs initiative aims to tackle the current water crisis and to ensure safe and sustainable access to water for all, by promoting responsible and appropriate management of aquifers, springsheds, and watersheds and conserving ecosystems in partnership with communities, governments and other stakeholders.
This presentation has been developed as a part of the springs initiative to promote an understanding of springs and their role in mountainous areas.

Session 5 "Rainfed Agriculture: Financing Smart Agriculture Projects“ Water Harvesting and Supplemental Irrigation - MENA Case Study 1 - Water Productivity Enhancement, By Prof. Dr. Dieter Prinz, Karlsruhe, SW-Germany, Land and Water Days in Near East & North Africa, 15-18 December 2013, Amman, Jordan
Water is another vital element & normally very badly managed in our society, due to our usual ignorance of its importance, characteristics & inter-relationships with other elements.
In this class we learn of harvesting systems for this vital substance, how to re-connect ourselves with the water cycle, the strategies of "slow it, spread it, sink it"
& we see various examples where a good management of water has totally changed the system. Small re-designs can improve the whole environment a great deal, & this is especially true with water re-designs.

2. Base Mapping
As recommended to Bain, I researched the property
maps at the Town Hall and have recovered engineering
maps of the property with included wetland delineation
mapping
Instead of hand drawing my plan I have used Arc GIS a
program much like Google Maps to compile data. To
make it easier to visual I have placed the engineering
drawings over a aerial photo.
Soils, drainage basins, surficial geology, FEMA Flood
Zones, and surficial hydrology here all suppled by the
CT Dept. of Environmental and Energy Protection
through GIS shapefiles.
3.
4. Water Analysis
Housatonic River Watershed
Soils: (USGS Web Soil Survey)
Paxton and Montauk (Fine sandy loam)
Charlton Chatfield (Rocky)
Woodbridge (Fine sandy loam)
Canton Charlton (high slope)
Impervious Surface (house, barns, shed, gravel
driveway. No compacted soils)
Features : 2 ponds, 3 large seeping wetlands, 2
streams that will dry up during
Average rainfall 53 in./year (Connecticut Ag.
Experiment Station Hamden site)
5. Water Resources
Design for Water
Bain (2012 p162)
1. At least two sources
2. Store it High
3. Release it clean
4. Match quality with
purpose
5. Slow the flow and
follow the wave
My Site
1. Well, 2 ponds
2. Water tower
3. Forest filtration
4 Well for residential and barn
use. Pond water for livestock
and irrigation.
5. The ponds act as a natural
storm water retention area for
the property and mostly all
the rainfall on this site is
stored in them.
6. Water Management Techniques
Forested Swales diverted from the driveway
will decrease sedimentation and hydrate the
soil.
Gutters from the house and barn will be
collected storage tanks
Irrigation water will be pumped to an elevated
tank and act as a gravity fed supply line.
7. What I have learned
Reviewing the information given this this unit and
the text I have realized numerous benefits that the
existing ponds have for starting a homestead
project which I have always taken for granted.
“Pond water makes excellent source for irrigation
and livestock watering, providing the volume is
adequate.” (Bain p.164)
In addition, ponds provide water detention and
retention, ground water infiltration, and aquifer
recharging.
8. I have also learned the water is a precious
resource in homestead farming and it must be
managed to ensure the success of your plants and
animals.
Challenges
I have noticed that
the wetlands and
ponds on the site are
blocking access for
the livestock to
access the grazing
areas.
Opportunities
The water resources
on the site are
sufficient for my needs
and the site
topography and
hydrologic features
promote sustainability.
