Facilities Challenges

All of these things work together by (explain how here). An example is how water catchment and containment will be distributed to the duck pond, whose used water (think fertilizer) will then be distributed through a network of underground pipes to both the greenhouse and the terrace gardens where we will have melon patches and plants beneficial to the ducks , like yarrow and chamomille.
