W waldo Public Seen by 61

This is a thread where we discuss water planning in detail and provide information to the Kieze. Anyone feel free to chime in and contribute to the water planning for Kiez Burn 2018!

IMPORTANT: IT IS ADVISED THAT EVERY KIEZ GETS A WATER CUBE!

All the info:

Questions?
If you have suggestions for changes, let's discuss it in this thread.

What where?
This map shows the water line and water collection points (each end of the blue line) confirmed so far from where we can distribute the water: http://bit.ly/2qYwa2n

Burning Pig
There is a workshop/discussion about drinking water planned at Burning Pig (Sunday 12:30 for 1-2 h, meeting point at the camp). Would be great to get your ideas and opinions.

@waldo I just saw that it is planned to dig the power lines. I assume this is gonna happen during burning pig? I was wondering if we could combine that with putting PE tubes underground for drinking water (putting them in the same trench)? I know we discussed before that we just role them back in after filling up the cubes but when we have the chance to put a drinking water line underground together with power seems to be quite handy. I think this would make sense at least for the big Kiez area in the east (in case the power line is going there). What do you think?

Hey Daniel, we will dig the power lines only right before Kiez Burn, during the build, not during burning pig. We do not know yet when the power equipment will arrive either. Not sure about putting power lines together with the water lines, not necessarily because of water leakage or so, but because the power lines are measured separately and not necessarily taking the shortest distance between the points that water needs to reach + digging power lines is a bit of a different job than digging water cable lines, since water cables are bigger. Also, sometimes power lines might go in the air.

So:
1. timing: not sure yet, might be closer to the event than would be good for water
2. in terms of digging benefit I do not see much gain in doing that together
3. distances/how to put the cable will not be the same

However, @relativityrltvty knows more about power, what do you think?

Daniel... we wont have any of the power equipment until the build of the event, so we won't be able to start power line digging until Saturday or Sunday of build.

If you are doing any digging then, and lines seem to run in the same general area, then it would be fine to combine them.

@waldo I am hesitant to start a new thread because I find many threads a bit overwhelming in particular when the threads are essentially about the same topic. Therefore I edited your description of this thread to show that nobody needs to read the whole discussion because everything that Kieze need to know is in the water plan which get's continuously updated. I suggest to leave it to this one thread about drinking water to keep the discussion in one thread and provide the key information in the google doc, linked in the topic.

okido! I updated the description a bit with some editing + Will put a link to this thread then in the kieze newsletter. Would you mind crosslinking this thread into the Kiez Burn kieze organizer facebook group?

Holá! There's a wateroutlet planned in the underworld kiez area. Is there any new information about
1) where it will be exactly? (on the hill or in the valley)
2) will there be a watercube or should underworld place one?
Gracias!

there will not be a watercube provided for Underworld. Please plan a purchase of your own. Storage can happen in the Shed. @thomasschneider6
