In this live one-day event, we will call attention to the need to consider the larger water cycle and the feedback loops between land stewardship and water availability, including the possibility of managing the water cycle to maximize precipitation.

Through a series of engaging conversations between scientists, advocates and land managers, we will look at the existing science (what we know and what we still don’t) and show examples from the ground on practical applications. We will investigate how we can and are improving the water holding capacity of soil, the role of transpiration in precipitation, opportunities to reduce dust on snow, the relationship between water/irrigation and biodiversity, and more key connections.
