[WH]   Water Harvesting



[DB] Database

Water in Sidi Bouzid is a critical resource and a limiting factor in agricultural food production. On one hand, climatic shifts in the recent years meant that  rainfalll is infrequent and unreliable. On-the other hand, anthrogenic factors such as overgrazing and extensive digging of wells have drastically raised the salinity of groundwater rendering it non-suitable for agricultural production. Water Flow siminulates the rainfall flow direction and gather areas based on terrain.

[ALG] Algorithm 

According to the force of gravity, water always flows from the higher points to lower points and it gathers in lower areas.

[MP] Maps

This water flow map simulates the rainfall flow direction and gathering areas. From this map, we can find the areas which get more water after rainfall and use them.
