hi again

second phase of the riverbed building completed it's 80% done

some pics







and, as we cannot stand still... we poured the first water on



water level lowly rising...







and maximum level









almost at night, the water level was descending



and these are two shots of some of the natural rocs we will use to build the starting point of the river (note the 1/16 figure to see the scale)






that's all for now

best regards guys

Well done! Very impressed with your dedication.
Any updates?

Jussek now a river???

At first I thought I stumbled upon a nature thread or the Discovery Channel doing a piece on Egypt with the Nile river in the foreground!!!

Totally unbelievable work Jussek

The very well executed river is the latest update lol.

LOL!! tomorrow we will work a bit more

thanks again guys!

i agree... it seems the Nile with this arid earth next to it! this is the reason why we will -almost for sure- add vegetable soil in several sectors, we have a plan to saw wild grass with little needs of water, but in this area it could be so hot in the summer that we do not know if it would survive...

the rives has a depth of 25cm on the 'lake' area, by now, the less depth crossing is 5 to 6cm, so i have a plan to do a hidden fording point so the brave tankers could wade the river

again, thank you very much chaps!

best regards

If the river actually flows, presumably you have some form of pumping system to get it back to the top to start its journey over again?

Yep! We have a removable pump system special for dirt waters. We will install it only when we will fill the river. The rest of the time the pump is stored.

Best regards

You guys think of everything. I just wish we had a battlefield even one tenth as good as yours.

I have a sump pump for emptying out footings, dug holes on building sites. Is it one of them?

thanks chaps!

Just in case anyone wondered, Reus has an airport. Ryanair do a return flight from Bristol for £53, so a flight and cheap hotel would probably work out at less than £200 for a weekend all in??

Thats good to know.
I can add the $1300 AUD return onto that, plus food & booze-a similar cost, $3500 AUD
Plus the Moto GP admission, Its still doable.
But not for peanuts & blankets like you jokers are lucky enough to pay !
