“We are using it for the dry season because in the dry season the water is not enough for the village because everybody’s farm gets water, irrigation. I have a farm, I have sweet peppers, tomatoes, watermelons, lettuce. For the dry season the system is not enough. This is for saving the water. This is the second phase, the first phase we received a printer, a desktop and then we received a hundred crates for packing of potatoes, sweet peppers fi ker to the market.”
