How to convert a waste water from fish pond to prosses of watering and fertilizer for crops. I'm going to channel the waste water from the ponds to crops plantation in where monoculture system is practice. So am going to use rain hose of about 1" wide and laid it in the irrigations line by line and connect them together. Then I will have 3" plastic pipe to connect the waste water from the ponds to together, then i will channel the pipe for about 3/4meter, then at this point i will have small capacity of 1/2HP pressure pump to boost the pressure of the water in into those rain hose, before the pipe we be connect to the pump, there should be a water filter fixed to the pipe to avoid particles inside the pump, so after this, I will connect pipe to the rain hose then I release the ponds water and on the pump for best result. So this will serve as prosses of watering and at the same time serve as fertilization to the crops with reduction of stress and still save water and money.
