Learn how effective rainwater management can benefit your area or property and at the same time help change climate change!
This course – taught by Thomas Lüdert, lead engineer for the water retention landscapes developed at the Tamera community and in many other places in southern Portugal – will provide you with a solid grounding in the basic principles of rainwater management and will instruct you on how to apply practical measures effective against both drought and flooding.
You will learn how to implement rainwater management measures in your own area, bringing benefits not only for the land on which you work, but also at a larger scale – by helping restore water cycles and thereby helping change climate change.
The Rainwater Managementcourse includes:
-
more than 3.5 hours of video lessons
-
theoretical explanations and on-location demonstrations of principles and measures
-
video presentations of six different case-study properties from southern Portugal
-
homework assignments
-
a comprehensive 12-page inventory checklist that you can apply to your own area and
-
downloadable study booklets for each of the course’s seven sections (total: more than 100 pages of original content)
Your questions about course content will be answered directly by the teaching team via the course Q&A.
