Water is Life
Waterkeeper Alliance
This world map rates countries by the sustainability of their food systems Food systems are going to need to be resilient to withstand climate change’s effects on agriculture. Looking at 20 factors, researchers now have a big picture about which countries are most under threat. BY KRISTIN TOUSSAINT. Fast Company.

Think Like a Watershed Bioneers Food Web
Think Like a Watershed” is part 2 of the 5-part multimedia series – Where Water Flows Life Thrives: Ensuring Drought Resilience and Water Security for Farms, People and Ecosystems. The series highlights innovative designs and far-sighted strategies based on principles drawn from conservation hydrology, permaculture, regenerative agriculture, and keystone species restoration that demonstrate how to sustainably steward our most precious resource and ensure water security for all life. We will feature a section of the series in this and upcoming Food Webs or you can dive into the complete series here.
Where does your water come from? With climate change’s erratic extremes, can you count on a continual supply? Water security goes beyond looking at water as an isolated element.
A watershed encompasses all the land surface that collects and drains water down to a single exit point such as a stream or river. Watersheds can be as large as the Mississippi basin, which is the third largest in the world and drains 41% of the lower 48 U.S. states into the Gulf of Mexico. Or, they can be as small as all the land in your neighborhood where rain water flows from your yard, roof, driveway, and streets to the storm drain and out to your local creek or lake.
Brock Dolman and Kate Lundquist, Directors of the The WATER Institute, a program of The Occidental Arts and Ecology Center, use the concept of “thinking like a watershed” to help people understand all the interrelationships and activities from the headwaters of a stream or river to its middle reaches and down to its delta. Knowing where your water comes from and how to conserve and care for it is the beginning of “thinking like a watershed.”
