Post subject:  Live Beyond's Sketch Pad

A design for a flood and drain system with wooden/pond lined gravel beds.
I have incorporated a strawbale wall to the south to prevent cold weather. Lined with a thick render for thermal mass to store gained heat during summer and winter to help control temperature fluctuations. A thick layer of road based gravel on the ground also will help store heat..
The roof over the tank area will have solar panels to shade the tank and provide power to pumps.
