ARTICLE
 From Eco-Farm Conference Report www.eco-farm.org 
Jan 2008  in Hopedance Mar/Apri 2008 
www.hopedance.org/cms/content/view/482/107/ by Noah Smulker
..."Not by coincidence, a personal highlight of 
this year’s Eco-Farm was the Water Workshop with 
permaculturalist and director of the Water 
Institute www.oaec.org/water-institute , Brock 
Dolman.  The energetic workshop focused on the 
Water Institute’s recently released manual, 
“Basins of Relations: A Citizen’s Guide to 
Protecting and Restoring Our Watersheds” and not 
only illuminated the currently unstable condition 
of California’s highly centralized water supply 
system, but on the necessary adjustments we must 
make in order to promote local self-sufficiency 
and sustainability.  As Brock puts it, “The 
critical head-waters (human brain) are in need of 
an ego-restoration project” and the “lifeboat in 
this restorative journey is our 
watershed.”  Poetically, our society must engage 
in a “Reverential Rehydration Revolution,” by 
adjusting our development and water management 
patterns away from the “problem-causing system 
of: Pave it, Pipe it, Pollute it” to a 
“solution-based system of Slow it, Spread it, 
Sink it.” Hope lies in world-wide “water 
literacy” and establishing a water management 
commitment to the four R’s of “Conservation 
Hydrology: Receive, Release, Recharge, and 
Restore.”  As Brock likes to ask, “Do you know 
where your watershed is tonight?”

Permaculture seeks to meet basic human needs 
while regenerating and sustaining natural 
systems. It is a belief and design system rooted 
firmly in applied ecology, proven sustainable 
practice, and protracted observation of living 
systems that holds great promise as a solution to our environmental crises.
