    A balanced cut and fill earth moving operation to reconstruct and enlarge the existing harvesting reservoir which was not originally constructed to any engineering design or standards that today would be expected. Why necessary for agriculture: Vegetable production to the higher light land to the north requires up to 200mm of irrigation in a drought year, the existing reservoir is poorly engineered and of insufficient size to harvest the available water from the roofs of the farm buildings to the south east. For many years the farm has relied on the harvested water for its irrigation, in 2022 the farm ran out of water early in the irrigation season. Why designed for agriculture: There is an existing pumping and underground pipeline infrastructure to the irrigated light land.
