Hi.
I am trying to add my own guide to the ones Anne links, but it's taking longer than I expected.

Short story, the strategy depens on whether your raining patterns are desert, mediterranean or forest, and it's completely different if you capture water for irrigation than just trying to live with whatever rains.

Done:
