My name is Eliphas Moyo . Thank you so much for your life transforming ideas. Am in Zimbabwe Mashonala West Province. When l watched your vedio l could no wait but take my pick and shavel and get to work. We are at the beginning of the rainy season and have an orchard of about 500 trees. Through the inspiration of your program I am digging diches ana swells to make sure all the rain will infltrate my land. Again let me thank you for this wonderful program. Would also want to take courses on Water Stories.
Certainly destructive flood and drought. While there are certainly natural fluctuations in precipitation, humans have made these dramatically more severe and destructive due to our land and water management.
Now you have me wishing I was the (benevolent, of course!) dictator queen of an oil-rich (or other ways to have excavation be done - could be a useful make-work project for hale and hardy unemployed people who don't just want to sit in their homes all week (something I'd 100% let them do, and want to do! it's what I do)) steppe zone with watercourses that needed remedying, for several reasons - create the appearance I was doing something about climate change impacting our agriculture, while actually doing something about climate change impacting our agriculture.
Far be it from me, though. I don't even have but just under 2/5 a decare (a decare is 1/10 of a hectare) of land in the middle of a city where excessive infiltration could cause a spring to show up on someone else's property.
Maybe gather some more information about what Zach and Water Stories and other people are trying to get people to understand. Lack of rain indeed causes drought ; but chasing away water instead of infiltrating causes...lack of rain. There are thrilling researches being done. It's intellectually rich, surprising, and positive. Let's keep on listening, searching, experimenting also, and try to do our best to change the way we see things. It's good for everybody not to get stuck in definitive, one way of thinking. Enjoy your journey on learning and trying, and why not, proving some wrongs ;-)
Simon thank you for this wonderful, thoughtful, and understanding response here! These are counteractive concepts for most, and it takes some time and research to really understand.
These are a feedback loop, globally about 50% of our precipitation on land comes from water evaporated and transpired locally. So when you drain water away from the landscape, you actually create less regular and more extreme precipitation patterns.
Vegetation creates rain, a healthy soil structure and decaying plant matter (mulch) on top of the soil which is like a sponge and it soaks up rain water. If rain falls on a bone dry soil surface without vegetation, it will evaporate immediately and won't penetrate the surface.
so you didn't listen? rain tossed straight into the ocean does not sink into the ground where plants can pull it out with their roots dry land sheds water instead of letting it soak in so it causes massive runoffs and errosion etc. etc. and listen to the video and you should understand it... it is quite simple...

May this work and wisdom find its fullest expression in our exponential planetary healing.
Thank you for this wonderful comment, we hope this work spreads far and wide!
Nice talk and video, as a rainwater user only at our 34 year certified organic permaculture farm inspires me to continue with my Journey.
AWESOME! Keep up the great work!
Fabulous, as usual. So inspiring. I have tried to follow these methods of water infiltration on my one acre in southern Tasmania, Australia.
Thank you! And thank you even more for doing this on your acre in Tasmania!!!
This was so inspiring, thank you !
Floods and drought are truly man-made phenomena
Certainly destructive flood and drought. While there are certainly natural fluctuations in precipitation, humans have made these dramatically more severe and destructive due to our land and water management.
Are reverse wells possible? Like rain catchment systems that feed ground water via filters so the water that goes into the ground is somewhat clean?
Yep!!
💯💚
Yes
God bless this to be the rage.
Thank you for healing the earth.dr higa also has a huge desire to convert our falicies.

the fact that the rain water does not penetrate the ground causes drought?
no
lack of rain causes drought
