Permaculture design for water retention and diversion - 2022 floods

View the permaculture inspired pond and swale system performing during the pre-soak to the 2022 unprecedented flooding in Australia. This video demonstrates the balance between water retention and flood mitigation that can be struck using permaculture design features. Discernment of where and how to retain large volumes of water and the diversion of water discharges after maximum retention is key to pond and swale design.

After having watched swale videos for years, this is one the tidiest, practical and most esthetically pleasing examples i

I love the dog running around 🐶

[@cohomeschoolmusic295]

Your little dog sure is having fun! Thank you for your explanation of swales & ponds. Makes so much sense now.

This is the best system I’ve seen on TH-cam I’d seriously love to learn how to do this

[@mikedoyle9934]

Beautiful system. Very nice to see water filling everything without any overflow damage. Thank you for sharing.

What a fantastic video! Showing the earthworks in action capturing and slowing the rain as it cascades from level to level of the swales. I live on a slope, this is inspiring.

I would be ecstatic with this much rainfall. Over the past 5years or rainfall totals have plummeted. My creek has completely dried up. We only had about 2 hours of light rain all summer long here in Central Texas. Great video.

I just 'found' your channel this morning and really enjoyed, and better yet - learned a bit more. Thank you.

[@saharkhalilian2873]

My main question is that how you built the pond, is it natural or it has plastic liner?

[@meangeliadenise]

Great job moving the water around.

Same here in Wollongong, NSW getting hammered by the rain! Our little 18,000 litre rain tank is full and our entire half an acre block is saturated.
