Decentralized water retention is both quietly and radically transforming desertified, urbanized and degraded landscapes, ushering in fertility and abundance, restoring peace and the livelihoods of numerous communities worldwide. Indigenous peoples have traditionally regarded water as sacred, safeguarding it as the precious inheritance of life. We would do well to remember our ancestral, original connections to water and how, if we respect and protect it, we can collectively change the world.
Water regulates 70-95% of the heat dynamics of planet earth, yet it is virtually non-existent in climate change conversations. Over the past 10,000 years human activity has desertified ⅓ of earth’s land, causing catastrophic consequences, water and food scarcity, displacement of peoples, and created repeated cycles of severe flood, drought, and fire - otherwise known as the Watershed Death Spiral. All of this is not only preventable, but reversible if we work with water and recognize this as the ultimate calling of our times. Work for water and the world changes.
Decentralized Water Retention delivers meaningful results after the first rainy season. People around the world are learning how to quickly create real substantive change for the health of their landscapes and communities - by working for water.
