Keyline® in the AR Sandbox #2: Landform Water Divides

Welcome to this 7-part video series that is excerpted from Oregon State University's Online Permaculture Design Certificate Course:
workspace.oregonstate.edu/cou...
The Keyline® Plan is a method of land design for soil and water conservation developed by Australian farmer and engineer P.A. Yeomans in the 1950's, and practiced widely throughout Australia ever since. My training in this design system came from Keyline® design's modern day emissary, Darren J. Doherty of the Regrarians (www.regrarians.org). This series is my best attempt to present a simple introduction to the design system, beginning with the very basics: understanding landforms to determine the potentials that each landscape possesses.
There are a lot more design layers to this system then what is presented in this 7-part series, so please treat this as an introduction, and not a comprehensive explanation. I also refer to other videos within this series that are part of Oregon State's Online Permaculture Design Certificate Course and are not publically available, so if you want more depth in this topic and others, please visit our course offerings:

Thank you Andrew for all you do. Your demonstration through your sandbox, art work from behind the screen is amazing and easy to follow. Thank you for being here.
All the best,
Mark

It is all about gravity and the surface shape. Water flows down due to gravity and finds its level. Constructing barriers can slow down the flow, store water in hollows and actually control the movement of water.

@2:54 "Labels change as you change scales of perspective."
I'm loving how that applies to social permaculture!
Possible social scales of perspective: structural, socio-economic, gender, empathy.
Please identify others if fun and interesting to you...

Seems like a great way to avoid pesky linear logic. Patriarchal hierarchical structures have assumed superiority in this regard with their linear "logic". We must assert the truth of circular logic, and therefore personal truth.

@@Weirdomanification yes exactly! thank you for adding that.
