This really us critical information.

@crumbdav 5 лет назад

I have watched a million permaculture videos, and this is by far the most informative. Thank you.

@derschwarzejoe9380 4 года назад

me too :)

your 7 video playlist is the best ive seen

This method is tried and true effective. Yet it focuses on the narrow valleys. We have been working on top soil building strategies that store water over the entire watershed.

My off grid high desert land will have this done before i build a home. This is critical info. Thanks!

It really is.

Deeper the water the more hydrostatic pressure presses the water into the ground. I notice the lawn drains faster now that there is a three foot pit on the corner. It squeezes the water into the ground. Even at that depth a pin hole spays out like a power washer.

Simply excellent. Thank you.

great presentation, thanks

Wate carrying soil becomes a mass flow, and is denser and more erosive than water by itself.

@jenn6838 2 года назад

this is a great video! very informative for water harvesting on a large scale.

My uncles broad acte Wheat/barly / rye/sheep farm in South Australia did this 50 years ago also used contour berms and contour ploughing😊

This is true. So many traditional ideas get renamed and packaged as "new" . Our ancestors were more wise than we realize. And that includes every culture.

You just don't know what you have done for me cause for a long time I've been wondering how I can help out the people back in my village to be able to overcome the problem of water scarcity since its located in a semi arid region of Uganda. Interestingly am still hungry for knowledge and planning to do the permaculture course with your Oregano university. Maybe it will help me change the narrative about drought back in With western part of Uganda that us in Lyantonde district and other surrounding districts. But from the bottom of my heart thanks a million.

Wow, I hope it's going well

Thank you for publishing this video. I earned my PDC in the late autumn of 2011, but I am still learning as much as I can. I have long wished that there were advanced, affordable classes for all of the topics in a PDC - it seemed more like a survey course than anything else. I moved from Central Texas to the Northern Olympic Peninsula in Summer 2014 - so much to learn!

Thank you for sharing with us, in the desert of Algeria i did a small projects to "store" water It was verry impressive to see that we can "store" water when it rains only one or two times in the year !! (If interested i send you photos and informations) Thanks

@jamessang5027 3 года назад

Wow, you can store with 1 or 2 inches of rainfall!?

@Nick-vl7lk 4 года назад

I cannot believe I didn't think of using the kids sandbox as a tool for water catchment demonstrations. Excellent demo.

@abelddamulira7817 2 года назад

Very good idea.

@husseinoskovjino9398 2 года назад

I always thought they will be very helpful

great!!!

@jaysilverheals4445 4 года назад

yes especially in deserts 75% of all life in the desert is in riparian areas in which water is close to the surface. But only 1% of the land is these green riparian areas. They also restore the balance in that these areas were heavy with life and greenery before the water was all robbed. They also help recharge the water table. With check dams riparian areas develop for hundreds of species in what before likely was nothing more than a barren stone wash.

@neilsonelesis7160 4 года назад

interesting indeed!

@felixkeenan5176 5 лет назад

That's really helpful kind of thing to show people thanx! What software like this can I use?

@andrewmartin4593 4 года назад

That was awesome. What is the name of that interactive thingamajig you are using?

@Giovanni-gp2wl 3 года назад

Great video man, what do you think of planting clumping bamboo near the check dam for stability?

@lazygardens 9 месяцев назад

Late reply, but if it's a native plant, yes. In my area we use local willows and cottonwood species and grasses.

@Norbingel Год назад

How about using Vertiver for the check dams?

@andrewau1993 3 года назад

Is there any equation that we can calculate the erosion

@julian.kollataj 4 года назад

What “game” is this? :) looks like a great tool! 😍

@vicky2507 2 года назад

what happens to fish habitat if this is applied in a river?

@tombee4536 9 месяцев назад

...and thus obscuring fish passage and destroying spawning habitat by covering it in silt.

@TreDeuce-qw3kv Месяц назад

I have seen salmon and steelhead climb 6-ft spillways and higher falls so no impediment from low rock restrictions. Now, there may be some validity to the spawning habitat media issue, but usually sediments gravitate to the deeper areas. It is an area needing further study on my part.

@oldauntzibby4395 Месяц назад

I think these check dams are meant for dry land where rain storms periodically create erosion, not dams built in riverbeds. The check dams will stop the silt from getting into water courses.
