Thank you so much

I may be thinking too loud here, but will it be too difficult and expensive to build a water recirculation system for these fire sprinklers, so that the amount of water needed to run the system becomes a non issue ? Basically for this system, create a 5-10' wide concrete floor around the entire perimeter of the house to catch the run off. Then , direct the runoff water from this area and gutters to a tank and pump the water from that tank to run the sprinklers. Any water lost due to evaporation or wind will be replenished from water main through an automated level maintaining system. I guess 70-80% of water can be collected back for the recirculation system and will allow use of large number of high flow impact sprinklers to thoroughly wet the roof and walls without worrying about wastage of water. The system will be expensive, but will look dirt cheap when compared with losses inflicted by wild fires like Palisade. Making concrete floor around the home is already being recommended for fire hardening of homes . Couple this with other measures like metal fence, non combustible side and roof claddings etc and when implemented at community level through updated building code , I would hope we can have a solution to CA wild fires. Moreover, these measures could be incrementally implemented keeping financial considerations in focus.

Is part of the problem in LA and Hawaii house fires from their use of bituminous tiles on the roof of their homes, spreading bituminous embers across the suburbs. Please investigate.

Hello from Los Angeles- Palisades fire 2024. Excellent presentation. Im installing flat fan under eaves around house this year.

This was fascinating, thankyou for sharing this evilving science.

Blah blah blah

If your plastic fittings are enclosed in a curtain of spray, they are unlikely to melt or burn. It's all very well to define optimum practices, but if they result in people not taking measures because of their unaffordability, it is not helpful. After attending a workshop, i have spent $200 on pipes and fittings for a DIY system. I will extend it, but already it's fairly impressive. Bushfires typically move through very quickly and quite minor protective measures can tip the balance from burning to not burning. Get stuff wet, that is the secret. Wet stuff does not burn. I have a lot of treated pine landscaping and the sections that did not burn were the ones i hosed down the night before the fire came through. And I don't have 100,000s of litres of water. Do what you can afford, and use what you have, don't worry about the 'experts' telling you it's not good enough.

Fantastic work 😊

Great work. So many useful structures made with a little ingenuity. Clever man. I very much appreciate the respect shown also for the wonderful trees that provided this wood are being utilised to their fullest rather than used and tossed aside.

Thanks for sharing

I really enjoyed your video! It has such a peaceful and relaxing vibe💚 You got my subscription! 👍

This is a wonderful summary of the work of Planetary Health Initiative, but I think we need to link this LOCAL story to a bigger story of different ways of being, thinking and doing drawing on Indigenous knowledge systems logic of relationality to come up with a new economics and politics away from the emphasis on continuous growth and consumption.

Andrew, the presenter here. Although talk is a bit of a ramble, the focus is the variety of successful and evolving recycled projects developed over the years for evolving and developing reasons. This has come from committed, dedicated professionals with amazing support from the community and oftentimes boldness from some bureaucrats and politicians. Private sector collaboration and goodwill has also been essential. Going forward, there are possibilities to explore, using past successes and lessons as a springboard which motivate me to attempt to play a role. When we try together, we oftentimes can come up with ways that are cheaper, better for community and environment and even stimulating business activity in Australia.

great video!

Brilliant!

So inspiring!

Love the way this garden uses Japanese guttering and a dry creek bed to manage water

So inspiring.

It's a great opportunity to plant trees now to increase biodiversity and cool our future!

"They were part of the environment ... they understood their connection"

no wonder some scientists call water 'the universal solvent.' It's such an important resource that I take for granted! Like liquid diamond, it is the miracle worker in creating biological life. Thanks Blue Mountains Planetary Health Institute for this video <3 <3 <3

Sounds good !

A brilliant insight into critical steps forward - thanks Will!

Love it!

Brilliant!

So inspiring!

I like the point that it is critical that we do not keep replacing outdated infrastructure with 'like for like' after disasters. We need infrastructure that's 'fit for the future'.

This workshop looks like fun!

So grateful for their hard work and dedication!

So pleased this wonderful place survived the fires!

love elderflower wine!

❤❤carol good to see you many happy memoriesof bird walks😂

Amazing to see stuff like this covered

Brilliant, so interesting

Great video! Really good to know how to do this

Amazing

The velvet suit sounds really fabulous!

What a great program!

So useful!

Brilliant!

Beautiful

Great little clip, ( Gary McGuigan Water Catchment Dioramas ) :)

Hoping we can save this ancient plant!

Shirlee is a superb pattern maker! Can’t wait to learn more about this. Excellent video!

Why there is not a comertials about it? More axplanation

Wow, I never would have known there was a plant this ancientexisting so close to home!

What a great video, thanks for sharing

So wonderful to hear the life coming back!

Excellent tour of birdlife in a ecosystem!
