The Sierra Permaculture Guild
General Meeting
Join the Sierra Permaculture Guild for the North American premiere of
permaculturist Geoff Lawton's new film 'Harvesting Water the
Permaculture Way'. There is a solution to depleting water supplies!
Watch as Geoff builds a dam and swale system on a small-acre farm. The
film covers details such as surveying and determining contour, using
laser and dumpy levels, connecting swales to maximize water
harvesting, working with excavator operators, subsoils, clearing
sites, establishing dam keyways, water level and freeboard, spillways
and diversions, and more! This is a must-see for anyone wanting to
build their own dam and drought-proof their property! Admission is Free.
