People and Water |
Water is the necessity to all existence and with out water the Blue Planet would cease to exist. Additionally where you have water you have life; historically humans have thrived in water rich regions. So subsequently what sense does it make, that water is diverted away from the land, back into the sea; without benefiting the people and the ecology surrounding it first.
Excursion to in High Tatras Slovakia to see the Dams in Action |

Flood Prevention dams, that we were building. |
There is fundamental issue when there is a lack of water in an area as extreme forms of weather occurs. As the systems diverting water back into the seas, catalyze desertification. So the canalization in agriculture, the sewage systems in cities and the logging roads in forests, all consequently lead to concerns of the extreme weather patterns. So measures are being taken to keep water in the land to benefit the people, animals and ecology. This is what is shown, ^ what we were working towards.
