Hi Didi, missed the discussion as it starts early am our time but I was talking to Bruce Dankwerts who in Africa to plant trees and rehydrate areas so this may also be of interest,
there is some repetition but it gives you a quick visual representation of the benefit of small long levee capture and slow release of water in semi arid degraded landscapes. Low cost with excellent benefits across massive areas. Coupled with selective grazing to allow regeneration to take hold and these farmers are transforming degraded areas which are a cost to the system into ecological havens filtering and cleaning our water that store carbon and are a benefit to down stream communities.

You need to do a search of their site but there is lots of good info
Hope this helps
Thank you, Theodore. We have another workshop today, if you can come! https://lali.teachable.com/p/can-we-rehydrate-california4?mc_cid=e9ed8d1497&mc_eid=945a64a7ce
Maybe this is important
