Prior to joining the Clean Coastal Catchments project, Luke Jewell (pictured on the left) worked with the WaterSmart Farms program and hydroponic tomato and cucumber grower, Hok Lam, to convert Hok's one-hectare greenhouse from a run-to-waste system to a recycling system that captures, cleans, and re-uses run off water.

In this webinar Luke shares lessons learnt during the recycling conversion, a project that cut water use by almost a third, and reduced fertiliser inputs by up to 50%.
