Water is the most unique and important molecule on our planet. While once revered by humans as sacred, it is now viewed as a commodity: the mismanagement of the water cycle has led to erosion, aquifer depletion, pollution and scarcity. The true nature of water - science that sounds like magic - inspires a sense of wonder and hope that informs new attitudes and strategies for regenerative water practices. Learn how to honor water and restore the subterranean portion of the water cycle through small-scale hand-dug earthworks combined with soil building and perennial plantings which maximize rainwater and greywater infiltration to prevent erosion, reduce pollution, moderate temperature, reduce energy and water use and support your landscape and local ecosystem.
