Research Documents¶
This folder contains research findings, data analysis, and calculations that inform the specifications and designs.
Organization¶
Research docs are organized by topic and date (when time-sensitive).
Current Research¶
None yet - create as you gather data and perform analysis
Planned Research¶
Based on Development Roadmap:
Energy System Research¶
- Solar resource assessment for Western Sahara
- Solar resource assessment for Baja Peninsula
- Wind resource assessment for target sites
- Desalination technology efficiency comparison
- Energy storage technology comparison
- Renewable energy cost analysis
Water System Research¶
- Seawater composition analysis
- Irrigation efficiency for different crop types
- Water demand modeling (seasonal)
- Greywater treatment options
Agriculture Research¶
- Crop yields in similar climates
- Aquaponics system performance data
- Livestock feed efficiency (seaweed-based)
- Composting rates and methods
Site Research¶
- Western Sahara terrain and geology
- Baja Peninsula terrain and geology
- Local material availability
- Climate data (temperature, humidity, precipitation)
- Existing infrastructure proximity
How to Use Templates¶
- Copy
TEMPLATE-research.md - Rename to your topic (e.g.,
solar-resource-western-sahara.md) - Document your research question and methodology
- Record findings systematically
- Provide clear takeaways and recommendations
- Link to specifications that use this research
Tip: Keep raw data in this folder. Analysis and decisions go in specs or design docs.
