Water separation vats used during coffee processing

Coffee wet-processing sites: map water assets and work areas

Map the processing area, water sources, storage, drains, and operational connections using a site visit. Record the purpose of each asset and keep measured water use separate from an equipment capacity figure.

Tea plucking surveys: designing representative walking routes

Choose stops that represent the block's plucking surface, access conditions, pruning history, and known variability. Record the sampling unit and the way a field team selects observations during its route.
