Abstract
A plumbing system and water transport method. The system includes a global water source, a one way water transport mechanism, a growing tray, and a local buffer. The local buffer separates the global water source and the growing tray to prevent cross-contamination of water. The local buffer also continuously provides water to the growing tray on demand without the need for filtering or dumping of used or excess water. This results in low flow, efficient water transport.

A plumbing system, the system comprising:
- a global water source:
- a one way water transport mechanism;
- a growing tray;
- and
- a local buffer configured to create a local water source to be used by the growing tray, the local water source being decoupled from the global water source such that cross-contamination of water from the local water source and the global water source is prevented,
- wherein the local buffer is further configured to continuously provide water to the growing tray on demand without the need for filtering or dumping of used or excess water.

- delivering water via a plumbing system, the plumbing system comprising:
- a global water source:
- a one way water transport mechanism;
- a growing tray;
- and
- a local buffer configured to create a local water source to be used by the growing tray, the local water source being decoupled from the global water source such that cross-contamination of water from the local water source and the global water source is prevented,
