      You have no safety steps into the tank. A death trap for anyone who falls in. The lid is not an answer. It can be forgotten open and a wondering child or animal falls through. Even your phone/wallet/bag can fall in there, how will you retrieve it? It would be wise to correct it now than regret later. We prevent accidents just so they never happen. Great work

    I am happy for your dream to have your own homestead. It would have been better if the land was not cleared in such a way. The resources that came with the land is gone. You could have incorporated some into the garden and other structures. I would encourage you to read about permaculture. It will give you a rich understanding of how to take care of your land by mimicking the nature; working with nature as opposed to working against it. You can simply store rainwater in the soil by digging trenches called swales on contour. Make sure to utilize the soil and vegetation bulldozed back into the garden. That was the topsoil that’s full of nutrients. Plant matters can be used as biochar or buried as a hugelkulture.

    Korewaa, you should consider having your voice tested. You could easily become a radio presenter. Your story is like poetry in motion. I will be watching as I can relate to your obvious love of fruit trees and land. I live in South Africa and I am a pensioner. I delight in growing vegies and fruit trees. I am a beginner though. Presently I am trying to enrich the soil by using organic compost. As it is winter here at present, it buys me time for next season. All in small scale of course. Blessings.

    Here in South Africa we call it the TLB for Tractor Loader and Backhoe.
    Underground storage was a master stroke, more like a covered swimming pool or sceptic tank.
    - I'd advise you to upgrade your reservoir in the near future and build with the rebars as you correctly suggested.
    - The extra support wall you used will help only with the ground-to-wall pressure, but not the strong outward pressure exerted on a full tank
    - Further use swimming pool quality inside finishing to avoid seepage and preserve concrete structural integrity from water damage.
    - Local swimming pool builders can advise you.
    Good and inspirational work, and I'll follow your orchard progress.

      If you compress the soil behind those walls. They will fall in. If you do not the water will push them out.
      Compact the bottom. Concrete with rebar. Rebar first on the walls. Formwork then poor the Concrete behind.
      The millions of years have compacted the earth in place will hold it in place.

    You are likely to loose water due to leakage in the dry season for underground water storage built this way. You may want to consider a waterproofing barrier. Essentially you want a swimming pool-like kind of structure.

      Not sure about leakage because these type of under ground water tanks are built in the virgin islands under the houses. The are call cisterns and they are just plastered the same way this one was built. We never have had water leakage as a result. The water for the cistern are usually filled from water collected on the roof tops of the houses. In the dry season we have to buy water from water trucks if the water runs out.

    Good idea of having water storage. The best shape would have been round. With a square/rectangular shape, the corners are likely to develop cracks (this I've experienced!) and water will seep out. You could have dug the pit and placed the plastic tank(s) underground as another alternative.

    Concrete take a while to cure. You could have waited a bit before filling with water. Also, I noticed the water tank wasn't built with structural reinforcement columns. Water is quite heavy. And being soaked in water makes it even more prone to collapse. Just be care when using or walking on top.

    I really like your way of building and reinforcing the tank for DIY application. The only thing I would be cautious about is leaching chemicals from your tank into what you are growing without a liner or inert lining material installed.
    Also, the silica dust that is being inhaled by your workers while constructing the tank WILL cause silicosis eventually . Basically, that dust will eventually cause irreversible lung damage to those guys. So viewers thinking of doing this should protect their lungs accordingly.

    Congratulations. You are doing very well.
    You mentioned that these tanks will be filled from rain collected from your homestead. Do you know you can actually calculate the amount of water you can collect from your roof? If you know the average rainfall in that area and your roof footprint you can get this number and therefore be able to size your tank appropriately. Example
    Average rainfal 1200mm=1.2m pa
    Roofprint 300sqm
    Amount of rain collectable per year= 300x1.2=360cubic meters of water per year. That is equal to 360,000 litres of water.
    Assuming you have two established rain seasons per year, this means you can collect 180,000l every season.
    For my projects I usually divide the collectable amount per year into three to size my tank. In my given example above, I would build a tank with capacity for storing 120,000litres.

      In the virgin islands 🇻🇮 we call the under water tanks cistern. Having been doing this for years due to droughts and the limited nature of natural water sources. They are usually built under the house where they are filled from rain water collected from the house roof tops.

    madam did you seal the skim coat ? if not water will leech out over a few years, building a tank you must think of it like a swimming pool you must seal in with a waterproof seal, if you have not dont worry to late, but you know for next time

      @@Korewaa-GhBizGirl It's not difficult, you will have to decide on the width and depth, but put a plastic lining below any materials you put on the bottom and sides to keep your water from seeping into the soil until it seals itself.

    A job well done and well planned. I have a question for you Korewaa. Can you explain to me why you have chosen underground water tanks instead of above ground tanks? It would also be nice if you mention the well yield versus water needed for irrigation and have you considered placing a storage tank in a high place like small hill near your farm to save pumping energy needed? Thanks for your video!
