SDV.03
--- HYDROPHILIAC is a future niche-filler. It distills the fountain-garden
combination from the estate to a kind of spray-gun unit that provides
its owner with the opportunity to irrigate dry and unusable ground for
gardening, agriculture, and animal grazing. Its catchment basin store
3,020 gallons of water for use through its six-nozzle output array that
connects two hygenic water supplies to the interior, two irrigation guns,
and two optional-use potable sources. The HYDROPHILIAC exists in anticipation
of forecasted water shortages, the immanent subsequent privatization of
the water supply, and the need for energy independence. Its water-catchment
basin, water-filtration/management technologies, and photovoltaic arrays
are engineered to sustain. |
