Permaculture Water Design Course February 25th-March 8th
In this hybrid live/pre-recorded course, we’ll cover the actual design, science, and mathematics of landscape hydrology and workshop our gardens to create real abundance right from the start!
Includes 12+ hours of prerecorded content, the professional’s Swale Calculator Tool; and 4 live sessions: Live classes Tuesday February 25th at 7 PM EST, Saturday March 1st at 10 AM EST, Tuesday March 4th at 7 PM, and Saturday March 8th at 10 AM.
Topics: Swales, soil hydrology, infiltration basins, keyholes, passive irrigation systems, dry wells, passive swales, nurse logs swales, pond design, aquaculture systems, natural swimming pools, wetland designs, etc.
While most PDCs only cover “rules of thumb” which have led to some famous, high-profile swale fails, we’ll demystify the actual mathematics involved, and learn about how water really moves in soil and landscapes. The use of the actual math, which is almost never taught in Permaculture courses, raises this water course to being one of the most advanced and professional in the field. We’ll also cover how to use the swales calculator tool, which can do all the math for you to get your water designs actually RIGHT!
