- Welcome to this 7-part video series that is excerpted from Oregon State University's Online Permaculture Design Certificate Course:

The Keyline® Plan is a method of land design for soil and water conservation developed by Australian farmer and engineer P.A. Yeomans in the 1950's, and practiced widely throughout Australia ever since. My training in this design system came from Keyline® design's modern day emissary, Darren J. Doherty of the Regrarians (www.regrarians.org). This series is my best attempt to present a simple introduction to the design system, beginning with the very basics: understanding landforms to determine the potentials that each landscape possesses.
There are a lot more design layers to this system then what is presented in this 7-part series, so please treat this as an introduction, and not a comprehensive explanation. I also refer to other videos within this series that are part of Oregon State's Online Permaculture Design Certificate Course and are not publically available, so if you want more depth in this topic and others, please visit our course offerings:

Thank you so much for uploading this to TH-cam it’s exactly what I was looking for I was working out something similar to this intuitively on a piece of land that I’m hoping to acquire and I was desperate to find something online that would help me in this process.. your program was absolutely perfect. Well done
Thanks David and I'm really glad the videos were of assistance to you at the right time.
I just want to thank you for making this information available online so I can continue my learning no matter where I’m at, or what my other obligations are!
You are so awesome!
Such a great teacher.
Thank you so much for sharing.
This and all that knowledge about the water revolution that you made available can really change the world.
Really helpful video series ! Thanks for all your tips and sharing your expertise :)
Thank you for sharing your beautiful videos.
Thank you for watching them!
This is pure gold. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent, sir
Hi Andrew. Great episode. Enjoying your little hydrology course immensely (and wishing the internet was more like this, instead of, you know). Just wondering why you didn't place the roads uphill from the ponds. Wouldn't overflow from the ponds damage the roads? I realize you are suggesting the roads to be thought of as swales - does that cancel out the risk of damage due to pond-flooding, or is that kind of problem not likely (due to another factor)? Ash
Abe, good question. The roads are placed atop the pond embankments, and in this particular diagram, the ponds overflow laterally across the slope into the next pond over. But there does need to be a location where the overflow from the ponds crosses the roads in some way, and there need to be stabilized overflows either across (through a fortified spillway) or under (through culverts or under small bridges) the roads to handle flood flow. Firstly, there will be a "trickle pipe" so the normal level of flow is just piped under the roads without erosion damage. This video right here has a fairly good example: th-cam.com/video/wV4iSy4tTXc/w-d-xo.html If you search you will see a number of designs for flood overflow across a road embankment.
@@amillison Great, thanks for the quick reply. Will reach out to learn more and stay up to date via Twtr
Thank you for the great explanation.
What if the driveway that we shared with our neighbor is already built and located in the worst area, the valley, where we have a huge road erosion. Before we knew anything about how water flows (which makes sense), we spend a lot of money in trying to fix it and in doing so, we just mainly put a bandage on the land and not permanently fixing it. So, if the road already exists, what can we do to permanently fix it. Also, when I observe the pattern of water during the heavy rain fall, the heavy rain pattern started at your neighbor's road which is much higher than the road that connected to our land which is lower...this explains why we get a strong momentum of water flow down to our shared driveway and causes a major erosion problem. PLEASE HELP. Thank you so much for your time.
Thank you very much, Andrew. I can´t understand what is the red line for? It's name or function, my english is not perfect yet. Regards form Chile
Hello Huerto. The red line represents potential roads and trails.
@@amillison thankyou for the answer. Best regards
Thank you.
Come to Salt Lake City and fix us please
Your road would be washed out...would put them on the top side of the ponds to prevent washout...
