NARRATIVE TITLE – UNEARTHED

SEMESTER

6

UNEARTHED IS A STORY FORM IPOH, MALAYSIA. IPOH USED TO BE THE MINING CITY OF MALAYSIA, THE CITY WAS VERY RESOURCEFUL IN TIN ORE AND MINING STARTED IN THE EARLY 18TH CENTURY. THE DEVELOPING MINING INDUSTRY ATTRACTED CHINESE IMMIGRANTS TO WORK AND DEVELOP THE FIELDS.

TIN MINING STARTED ON THE RIVER BANKS OF KINTA VALLEY AND DUE TO LACK OF EQUIPMENTS, THE METHOD CHOSEN TO MINE TIN FROM THE SOIL WAS THE PANNING METHOD. THE PAN IS A CONCAVE DISK SHAPE OBJECT MADE OF WOOD, THAT ALLOWS MATERIAL (TIN) TO STAY IN THE PAN WHILE THE SAND/ SOIL IS WASHED AWAY. THIS TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN USED TILL THE 19TH CENTURY WHERE DREDGERS WERE INTRODUCED

THE INTRODUCTION OF DREDGERS WAS THE GREATEST INNIVATION IN THE TIN MINING INDUSTRY. DREDGERS HELPED IN SPEEDING THE PROCESS OF MINING AT A LARGER SCALE AND HELPED IN GROWING THE TIN MINING INDUSTRY. TIN MINING IS USUALLY PRACTICED IN LAKES USING THE FLOATING DREDGE WHICH DIGS THE GROUND UNDER WATER, THIS CREATES A MIXTURE OF SOIL, TOPSOIL, SUBSOIL AND ROCKS AND IT RESULTS IN A POLLUTED SITE. ATFER THE SITE HAS BEEN EXPLOITED THE SITE IS LEFT ABANDONED. UNEARTHED IS A PROJECT THAT TAKES OVER THE ABANDONED MINING SITES AND CONVERT THEM INTO AQUAPONIC CULTIVATION SITES.

THE PROCESS STARTS WITH A MINERAL WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM STARTING WITH ROCKS, GRAVEL, SMALL GRAVEL AND SAND WHICH FILTERS THE POLLUTED WATER TO MORE THAN 90% RESULTING IN A CLEANER SITE WITH MINERAL WATER.

ONCE THE AQUAPONIC CULTIVATION SITE IS ERRECTED, PLANTS WILL BENEFIT FROM THE MINERALS IN THE WATER TO GROW BETTER AS WELL AS THE FISH WOULD BE IN A GOOD ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SURVIVE ON FALLEN LEAVES AND ROOTS WHICH WILL ALLOW MORE OXYGEN IN THE WATER RESULTING IN BETTER PRODUCE AT THE END.

ON AN ADAPTATION LEVEL, THE SAME FILTRATION SYSTEM CAN BE USED ON BUILDING ROOFS. THE FILTERED WATER CAN BE STORED AND LATER USE TO WATER THE GREENSPACE AROUND THE BUILDING, CAR WASH AND WASHROOMS.
