This is good info, 2 questions: Some gardeners use swales to keep the water from leaving your land, and will rainwater from your roof do a signifacant difference when harvesting water? I think the practical do's and dont's should be mentioned here... Thanks for your effort!
The main difference I can think of right off the bat is that rainwater harvested from a roof will be stored in a collection tank, while water collected through water catchment infrastructure such as a swale will be stored in the ground or a collection pond, or at the very least slowed down as it moves through the system. Theoretically if the rain harvested from the roof of your structure was being used to irrigate a system with other water catchment structures such as swales, the effects would be the exact same.
Thank you Didi - great conversation with Walter again. I read on your substack ... "He could put together every process in the universe in one compelling, flowing, illustrated narrative, and tell you how to solve everything, if you had time to listen." I wonder if his ideas (and yours) have been put into really professional graphical / computer format to present the story in visual form. (The long interview format is not for everyone and can be difficult to follow. I had to come back to finish it off as I was too busy for 'one sitting'!) I have seen the other videos you have from 7 years back with Walter and his flip charts (🙂) which really got me interested. It is that data which I think is so rich and would benefit from being packaged up into a really compelling format. I wonder if a collaboration with the famous RUclips channel "After Skool" could be attempted? It would propel the number of eyes on the topic through the roof!
@@YeshuaAlBhagwani Thanks Yeshua, I sent a reply to Didi at the landleadership website and am waiting to hear back. There are links to a lot of good resources at her site. I also liked the works of 'Milan Milan' and the early work on the Loess Plateau in China which seemed so practical, yeilding grreat results. Regards - Patrick.
Why doesn't the climate modeling community find such things to be worthwhile to include in their physical process descriptions? too difficult/complex, not enough data, or something else? thanks

@@pguk83 can you send me an email via the contact page at www.landandleadership.org?
I second the After Skool thought. They're really into alternative views on history and the future of humanity.
