Brock Dolman – Basins of Relations: A Reverential Rehydration Revolution

Bioneers | Published: October 26, 2017 Ecological DesignRestoring Ecosystems Video

In this rousing tour-de-force, ecologist Brock Dolman reveals Planet Earth as Watershed Earth. He illustrates how the future lifeboat we’ll need is shaped exactly like our local watershed. All living things are inextricably linked by water and designed around its flow. With lessons from across the globe, he calls for a “rehydration revolution” – water systems based on good science, respect, and widespread community participation. He spins dazzling poetics to show how water-literate human settlement patterns can regenerate ecological integrity and social resiliency to prepare for the climate changes ahead. It’s a mesmerizing performance that gets a standing ovation.

This speech was given at the 2009 Bioneers National Conference.
