The New Water Paradigm - a climate revolution.

Do you know how much of the global heat dynamics are regulated by carbon? Somewhere between 4 and 20%. How much is regulated by water? 70-95%. We treat water as a background carrier when it should be our foremost focus. To solve the challenges currently facing humanity and life on earth, we need to change our relationship with water - we need to create a new water paradigm.

We can work with water to revive rivers, restore landscapes, and even reduce local temperatures. With water we can create a healthy, vibrant, and productive world. To accomplish this lofty goal we need to evolve and update our public policy.

Join us tomorrow for what is going to be an incredible webinar with Martin Kováč, former Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Slovak Republic and co-author of "Water for Climate Recovery - A New Water Paradigm" for this deep dive into the public and institutional aspects of water cycle restoration.

The People's Plan for World Peace - The Power of Water for Healing Earth
https://youtu.be/kzjUTIMjaO0

To honor this year of Water and Peace we have created this short film to highlight one of the best examples in the world of people achieving peace through water. The Chambal region went from desperate and violent, to prosperous and peaceful, through Community Driven Decentralized Water Retention.

But that's not all! We're also giving away our Core Course Essentials https://www.waterstories.com/core-course to one lucky person on YouTube! All you have to do for a chance to win is watch the video, like and subscribe to our channel, and tell us in the comments why you want to join the course.

This video is a window into one of the areas impacted by the work of Dr. Rajendra Singh, known as the waterman of India. His story is featured in more detail in our award winning documentary "Reviving Rivers" available for free on Water Stories:

Water, Peace, and Climate Change - how are the three connected?

The Chambal region, that once grappled with violence induced by water stress, has now embraced peace through decentralized water retention and natural agriculture. The community's commitment to harmonizing with nature has led to extraordinary changes, through harnessing the seasonal monsoons to rehydrate their Earth. Community efforts throughout this region have brought water back to more than 250,000 wells, rejuvenated 9 rivers, and even reduced temperatures by 2 degrees.

Due to water stress and scarcity, people had no way to provide for their families. Some migrated, others resorted to violence to survive. Years later these same people turned over their arms and asked for forgiveness, as they were now peaceful farmers.

Join us this Wednesday at 9am PST for the world premiere of "Water Bandits" a short film sharing this incredible story:

Learn how to rejuvenate waterways and revive landscapes anywhere in the world with your own two hands!
https://youtu.be/AshXPzBLq6w

There are so many positive developments happening in the field of nature based solutions, but there is also a one huge weak link. Having implemented projects across 6 continents, all around the world, it's something I see time and time again.

There are far too few people that know how to do this work. Every year there are more people aware of it, more people wanting to invest in it, and more people helping others understand the theories and concepts. But there are still so few people that can confidently and competently do the work.

People that can with their own hands, heart, and mind, revive rivers and revitalize landscapes. There are lots of people making courses, videos, podcasts, articles, newsletters about it, but still far too few guiding others through the real work - where you get dirty, covered in earth, and achieve real results on the ground for the environment. Currently I think this is the main thing holding these solutions back from scaling.

This is why we created the Water Stories Core Course, to empower you with the skills and abilities you'll need to make these kinds of transformations yourself. In our Advanced Core Course I take you through a decade of my learning and experience, in 6 months.

It has been amazing to see the results of this course. Within a year people are implementing these changes on their own landscapes, making it their full time career, and becoming powerful advocates for water.

Today is the last day for the early bird deal, and there is only 1 month left to join the 2024 course. Once it starts on March 31 the next advanced course won't take place till 2025.
