SLIDE 29:  The Branching Pattern

by Nate Downey

Here’s a good look at how the branching system works. This picture is from a different project than the main example in my APLD lecture, but it provides a good close-up drawing (by George Lawrence, Harvest the Rain’s ever-wonderful illustrator) of the “double elbow” or “flow splitter” designed by Art Ludwig. Without this plumbing part that Art invented, it would be very difficult to send grewywater in more than one direction. That is, we could not use branching, and we could not be very productive with our greywater were it not for this plumbing part.
