Jan’s Quick-Take

I spent many hours researching, talking to experts and choosing articles from around the world to come up with what I think is a unique, inspiring and practical collection centered around rainwater infiltration and climate restoration!

Abstract

Water restoration is the key to climate restoration. With almost 100 pages of articles, photos and illustrations contributed by approximately 20 contributors from around the globe, this book shows how simply retaining rainwater in soil and plants can work to restore landscapes and climates that have been degraded through poor water management. From homeowners, farmers, and foresters, to entire communities, we can all help to renew local water cycles that are essential for our climates, and for humanity and all life on Earth.

The New Water Paradigm Is Important For the Future of Humanity and the Earth

Abstract:

In the Valley Green Journal November 2014 issue I introduced readers to Michal Kravčík, a scientist who is an expert in hydrology, from the small nation of Slovakia in Eastern Europe. 

I am pleased to share with you an urgent, yet hopeful message from Michal to us about the extreme importance of harvesting rainwater for our ecosystem. 

It is absolutely critical that we all do our part to restore natural precipitation into our landscape instead of letting it rush down into our rivers via storm sewers, paved surfaces, and eroded land.
