Elevated tank water filtration system

Here is a great VSP site idea.

We all need water, trucking it in cost big time Dollars and FORCPRO issues.

The new Special Forces Tactical Facilities: FM 3-05.23 doesn't have these any more. Unlike the old Pappy Green Base Camp Book or Special Forces Base Camp Operations FM 3-05.230.

If you have water anywhere around your VSP site. You get a gas powered water pump. Build you a two tank (250L) elevated water filtration system. This filtered water (a 1000L (250G) tank) is pumped into say a kitchen or bathroom by a electrical water pump. You set up both black water lines and grey water lines from your "bathroom". The Black water (toilets and urinals) lines go to a 1800L (500G) tank that is buried underground as a spetic tank with leech field lines. The best way is to have locals build you a spetic tank out of bricks and not use a plastic water tank.

Now your Grey water lines (your hand wash sinks and showers) you have them lead into a 250L tank that is a two stage filter. This will filter out the soap and BS from the sinks. This grey water filter tank will have a leech line leading to a farm field to provide filtered water for crops for your VSP site. If this Grey water tank is getting full fast you can add a line to lead over to a animal "keep" area. Water for chickens, rabbits, turkeys, goats, sheep, etc.

Just something to think about.
