> Summary:
> The primary feature of this technique for waterharvesting is a 'dry
> creekbed'. This is a bed of rocks, gravels, sands and soils which can be
> sealed from, seeping into, or open to the landscape profile.
>
> A system of subsurface creekbeds is used to direct stormwater and
> greywater or any wastefluid to landscape growing areas, while at the
> same time filtering and treating the water to remove contaminants and
> then recycling the treated water for non potable uses.
