Project focuses on how South Africa can harvest water in underground tanks. The water will be harvested during the floods, purified before entering the underground storage, saved and automatically pumped out to fill the low level dams during the water shortages. Proposal is to start a community project to grow trees and vegetable gardens along the riverbanks to ensure that there is enough vegetation to absorb water throughout the seasons
