How about letting pigs spill water purposely to fill wallow but in a controlled manner?

Hi Permies,

labor is expensive and time is scarce on a farm so as a sailor, farmer's child, technician I am always on the hunt for the
ultimate system that provokes laziness (or time saving)

I have seen that pigs love to spill water if they can so why not let them do it?

I am planning a sacrificial area either.
The water source, food troughs and accommodation shall be lowest of low maintenance using a composting pig pit (with coco coir as rice straw available in abundance in Thailand for a small coin) and all features centralized in the sacrificial area.

In the heat of Thailand soil in wallows dry out fast (even under a roof) so please have a look and lets re design (if necessary) my idea that the pigs shall have their fun by drinking, pushing water out the waterers as they like.
Contain the mess they made with a concrete barrier and drain the water into the wallow.

The overflow of water in the wallow then shall feed huge high nitrogen demanding trees like Rainbow Gum, Red Sandalwood and maybe giant Bamboo which clumps shall be controlled by the pigs too. They love the shoots.

Jeeeez, this seems for me very sophisticated and now please wake me up and tell me where the disaster is lurking...

it really looks good to me...
...but I fear there is too much seaman or technician hiding in the system...  

Do the pigs play with the waterers in the building and the water falls to the floor and drains to the wallow area?
What happens after that?

The wallow will have a open bottom with tiles you use also in an open driveway (the holes filled with Gravel).
Then my thoughts went to grow Red Sandalwood, Rainbow Gum (Rainbow Eucalyptus) trees and Bamboo around it as they demand huge amount of Water and Nitrogen in our climate.

The Building is just a roof and a shallow concrete Basin to collected the water spill...
