* 2010 we studied the concept
* 2011 we acquired the best spot
* 2012 we buildt the outer shell
* 2013 we worked on the inside of the earthship

This year we want to finish the earthship.

We have now a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to stay for free (first come first serve basis) in the earthship and help finishing it off.

-o0o---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dit is nou vier jaar verder.

Tydlyn:

* 2011 het ons gebruik om die beste plek te verwerf
* 2012 het ons die buitenste dop gebou

Hierdie jaar wil ons die aardskip te voltooi.

Ons het nou 'n wonderlike geleentheid vir vrywilligers om gratis in die aardskip te bly en help te afrond.

Reënval en watertenkvlakke - www.aardskip.com - Tank levels and rainfall.

In the graph you see in green the water level in the tanks. 2000 mm is the equivalent of 30 kiloliters, thus each 1 mm equals 15 litres.

Further more you can see we had to add river water in August, September and October due to an extreme drought South-Africa had. The worst since 1936.

In October it started to rain again, see blue line in the graph, and the tanks gradually filled. The tanks is currently below the 3/4 mark, 20 kilolitres.

We captured almost 26 kilolitres of rain water thus far.

-o0o----------------------------------------

In die grafiek sien u in groen die watervlak in die tenks. 2000 mm is die ekwivalent van 30 kiloliter, dus elke 1 mm gelyk aan 15 liter.

Verder kan u sien ons het rivier water toegevoeg in Augustus, September en Oktober te danke aan 'n uiterste droogte wat Suid-Afrika gehad het. Die ergste sedert 1936.

In Oktober het dit weer begin reën, sien blou lyn in die grafiek, en die tenks het geleidelik gevul met reënwater. Die tenks is tans onder die 3/4 merk, 20 kiloliters.
