RasJebel+Context+and+Inital+Land

Back to RasJebel Farm and Demonstration Site Overview ** RasJebel Farm and Demonstration Site : Context and Initial Land ** __**Site analysis**__ (under construction)
 * Landform: Orchard site in different slopes limited by cypress trees and by low stone walls
 * Water: 2 wells. The higher well has a 5.5m deep water level. The water seems good, but with some insects (ex. mosquitos) in the surface. The second well is invaded by the vegetation. The water of both wells needs to be analysed.
 * Access and circulation: A small street leading to the beach is at the limits of the site and slightly defined paths in the site are used by the locals. There is not electricity. The surrounding fences are quite open and damaged by the passing wild boars.
 * Vegetation and wildlife principal elements: 77 fruit trees, big population of ants(tneed to be identified), passing by wild boars

 * Buildings and infrastructure: a space with stones indicates the existance of a construction in the past, but only the foundation is left
 * Zones of use: entrance with dunkey steps, slope area of habitation in the past, fire place, water place, orchard in the slope, orchard in the lower area
 * Soil: clay and sandy areas, poor light soil, needs to be tested
 * Aesthetics: disorganised variety of scenes and atmospheres
