Figs and carob trees
This water tank overlooks the beautiful hills of the Algarve and the surrounding landscapes. With a capacity of approximately 130 m³ it stores irrigation water for figs and carob trees.
Artisanal finca
The location is a artisanal private finca where figs and carobs are grown on a non-commercial scale. The owner manages the land independently, with widely spaced trees and a natural approach to cultivation.
Hot and dry Algarvian summers
The Algarve is known for its hills, dry soils and Mediterranean climate. Rainfall is limited and mainly occurs in the winter months, while summers are long, hot and very dry. This makes water availability unpredictable throughout the year, especially in more remote areas. A reliable water supply is essential in this type of environment.
Tensioned anti-algae cover
The tank is equipped with a tensioned anti-algae cover, which protects the water from sunlight and debris. This helps reduce algae growth and keeps the water cleaner for longer, making it a practical and low-maintenance solution.
