Hello everybody! Welcome back to the Springstone Farm Blog! My name is Christina and I am an Environmental Biology major at Kean. As already stated in the introduction, we are working with Springstone to create a system that will harvest rainwater to be used to irrigate flowers and crops rather than using well water. Our approach to the aforementioned is to provide the client with a cost-effective method to collect, store, and pump harvested rainwater to the backfield where the crops reside.
