The land looks quite steep too in places. Perhaps a series of reed bed terraces topped/built with hessian sacks filled with straw or similar carbon rich material and inoculated with fungal mycellium. It's difficult to know without being on site. Something for the students on the Marda PDC to ponder? I'd love to hear if they come up with a solution. Agreed.

Filtering blackwater is possible but I wonder how it could be done in this situation. The shear volume would be a problem i think, not that I have been there. If the water could be slowed down and directed through a large multi-stage reed bed it would actually be a wonderful show of resilience, turning a terrible waste product into an incredible resource.

It would be nice if the authorities did something about it and it taught whoever is responsible a little bit about getting along with their neighbours. It is pretty sad.
