For water recovery I split a plastic drum lengthwise and bolted the two halves together to make a double trough. This is placed next to the mixer, and a table made from hardware cloth is put above it on sawhorses. Wet pulp is transferred from the mixer to the table where it drains into the drum troughs. After the drained pulp is mixed with portland cement and moved to the forms, the water is put back into the mixer.

Kelly Hart or someone else mentioned that water from PC is almost clear as the concrete binds with the paper and someother chemical action.
So what kind of water retrival systems have you designed? Reusing water in our area is a must.
So have been trying to envision how to design one for poured PC wall sections. Will try to remove as much water before final pour.
Will have to design screen covered holes in the forms and some kind of gutter system to get the water in a bucket.
We have to pump all water with a generator over a mile away.
Big time waster to go back and forth.
Any resources would help.
When building in remote areas water is precious.
