Hey everyone, this a very exciting post for me...
Those of you who listened to my latest podcast episode will already know.
Our company 'Abundant Wisdom LDA' is opening its water-management consultancy!!!
So, what is water-management?
Simply put, it is managing the water on your land so that every interaction we have, be it buildings, earthworks, or even just planting trees, is taken as an opportunity to benefit the water cycle, and the ecosystem as a whole.
Conversely, lack of, or bad water management, can harm the water cycle, and even damage the ecosystem.
This is a subject I am and have been very passionate about for many years (as those of you who have heard me ramble on about keyline can attest..)
So if you have water on your land then this post is just for you. And if you don't, well, this post is even more relevant!
If you've wondered how you can get all the water you needed just from the rain, If you don't want to rely solely on a well, and would like a back up plan.
Or, if you really hate to see all that clean water go to waste every flash flood, then let's talk!
Whether it's improving on the system you already have, or designing a brand new one tailored to your needs, water management can help save you time, money, energy and lots of frustration in the future.
So what can you do?

Any advice for people who get very infrequent rain? @Breezin lives in South Africa in what amounts to a desert. They have tanks, and a dam, and wells, but went 9 years without any substantial rain, finally breaking the curse this year.
For extreme drought, which is anything under 350mm rain a year.
I think you need extensive alternative methods, when there really isn't enough rain.
1st, above surface storage is the lest effective storage, due to evaporation that can cause significant losses, so underground storage for desert areas is a must.
Next best option I would suggest is desalination. This of course depends on the closeness to the sea, but if feasible, this is a very practical, simple anc cheap method. They have a great system in, I want to say Ghana...? Not sure, but around that area..
Latly, is catching the morning dew in designated blankets, with under tanks to store the water as it condenses.
This is a very inefficient method, and should be used only to bolster other existing systems.
In general, for areas that are too desertified already, the only real viable option long term is large scale reforestation of the land, along with proper earth works and water ways. This will eventually bring back the rain to the landscape, but obviously is beyond the scope of one individual, and is more governmental responsibility.
Thanks for the insight as always, Orlev.
