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.
