The goal is simple. We want to stop using clean tapwater to irrigate the plants at Dijkspark and instead use a water source that may be considered unconventional: the canal. The common perception of canalwater is that it is dirty, dark and smelly. We are mostly concerned about the salt in this water, and its effects on our plants. This means we will have to learn what can and can't grow in a city that is becoming increasingly brackish. So let's envision the brackish garden of the future and save tapwater while doing so!
