Harnessing the Power of Water: Holistic Approaches to Sustainability


Listen Later

This conversation takes a comprehensive look at how to manage and conserve water using nature-inspired strategies. We touch on everything from regional watershed interventions to small-scale household techniques, highlighting how designed earthworks can slow runoff, constructed wetlands can treat wastewater, and natural pools can offer chemical-free recreation. Central to the discussion is the idea that water is best handled at the source, whether by encouraging infiltration on farms or separating greywater for on-site reuse. Through practical examples and ecological insights, we see how any place—rural, urban, or somewhere in between—can foster greater resilience by aligning its water systems with the rhythms of the land.
