Sectional Model locating raised family pods, arcade and structure of the roof for rainwater harvesting.

The elevated family farming plots growing food in the flood season. This image shows the chopping down process of the Kenaf plant which grows nine feet a month. Grows best in flood conditions and can be used for food and medical treatments.




Rainwater directed into rammed earth chanels, to store for drinking water.

   


Family storage units for land farming of rice and other food sources, in preparation for the flood season. Drinking water tanks are visable and stored beneath.
