    Tips

    December 9, 2018

    Communal wells with windmills are important for the farmers. Most of the groundwater on Bonaire is brackish, but goats are able to drink this water. Only two windmills in the Bara di Karta area provide fresh groundwater that can be used for irrigation of vegetables.
    Close to the windmill a dam has been constructed to catch the rainwater, hereby increasing the groundwater supply. The slopes of these dams were often used to grow watermelons and pumpkins in the dry season.
