Real Water Conservation is not happening
The greatest opportunity for better planning and security in this dry continent is just not happening. This blog was created mainly to provide a stimulus for studying soils but as I, as a soil and water conservationist know how planning for either involves planning for both. Planning for both builds sustainable agro-ecosystem in an area. Forget the rule books and forget that it's just engineering - its geomorphic planning at its heart, Our kids should be getting careers in it still . The West has gone wrong by making STEM the single focus issues when the big picture GEM Geomorphic Ecological Management is the primary BIG picture BASIS for service industries to our most basic resource needs and production systems. I also have had my Facebook account for "Conservation that Works" removed for reasons I don't understand. Lot of work there wasted until they restore my access to my work. Just to remind you of the simple ideas I presented at shows in the late 80
