NEXT LEVEL POND DESIGN

The video explores water storage and rehydration techniques in Western Oregon, focusing on permaculture and water retention systems at Tabula Rasa Farms. It highlights the engineering feats involved in creating cascading ponds and biofilters, discusses legal challenges faced, and emphasizes the ecological and financial benefits of these systems. The video advocates for permaculture as a sustainable solution to water scarcity, aiming to inspire global change.
