I added a lot of rocks to Buddha's Basin in the morning and during a couple of cloudy stretches during the day. Many thanks to Kate S. for the extra rocks to finally finish the two catchment basins and improve the approaches. This is Buddha's Basin in 2021. Last year there was a HUGE storm on my birthday, right before my party. It was cool to have a moat for the party. (The water doesn't stand long enough for mosquitos. It is designed to seep into the ground between the rocks, instead of flooding my studio. My basins are decorative and functional. #rocks #rainwaterharvesting #tucson #catchment (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgQS3OnJcDnFnBe3E-VYZkntLl5BAPIT11eKlU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Weekend! Here's the updated progress. We enclosed the chicken run. Cleared storage on the side of the garage. Piped & moved the rain catchment. We moved & repurposed cinder blocks & bricks to finish off the photos to make a larger planter for our little miss figgy. Made a second large planter for our other little figgy cutting and pea graveled this hibiscus corner. #homesteading #farmlife #urbanfarm #rain #catchment #petra #texas #corpuschristi #beccasbythebay https://www.instagram.com/p/B84L68HlzMW/?igshid=7w3xftdhp8qu

A designer of a stormwater pipe system  would need to work out how much water will flow into the pipe system. In order to do that they need to work out how much of the land will be directing stormwater runoff to the stormwater pipe system. A land that will produce stormwater runoff is often referred as a Catchment. So the first part of sizing a stormwater drain is to do a catchment analysis.
