•Damming & Rerouting the water
•Bottling the water
•Agricultural Exports
What can we do?
STOP BOTTLING THE WATERor
allow its sale (in glass) containers to locals only
(so it stays in our ecosystem)
STOP THE WATER FROM LEAVINGDecommission the dams, canals & pipesMicrodam, swale & plant the keyline to
bring back the ground water, the forest along the valley ridges, & the rain
AND WHAT ABOUT FARMING?!?!
No Chemical Fertilizer, Pesticide, or Herbicide $$$$
Use 20% the Water used now with No Till & Mulching
Higher Yield through DiversificationPerennial-based Agriculture=More $$$
& Less Work over time
Encourage all the other states to start building their own
soils & buying from their local farmer.
What about all the agricultural $$$ we’ll
lose?!?!
