- 1. Co created by Josh Gomez & Rosie Stonehill
- 2. Route of Track More water for the area Improved access up the valley Restoration Objectives, Goals & Achievements Out come
- 5. “Lets go for a walk up the Valley”
- 15. Current position of old tube and farm buildings
- 16. Proposed alternative route for new tube
- 17. Following the contour most of the way up the valley
- 18. The track also follows this route most of the way and has a swale along the upslope side
- 19. Catching the rain water runoff from 158187.68 m² of hillside
- 20. The majority of this water will infiltrate into the land below the on-contour swale
- 21. Any water excess to this infiltration will be channelled into a small dam
- 22. When the dam is full it will back fill the swale
- 23. Then be passively released over a broad compacted level sill
- 24. So what is a Swale and Level Sill? Click these pictures to watch the two videos Swale Level sill
- 25. Achieves multiple functions & benefits Rehydrates the landscape & Controls / Minimizes erosion
- 26. Creates niche microclimate ideal for reforestation, with Self irrigating system Achieves multiple functions & benefits
- 27. Easy to Implement, Manage and Maintain Achieves multiple functions & benefits Access Track On contour swale
- 28. 1.200 mm average annual rainfall 158187.68 m² of catchment Less 90% at least (accounting 343 meters swale soak in & evaporation) = 3.1ML 31.6ML Reaching the swale 5 m height of dam wall at mid point Around 300 m² water surface area 0.72ML of rain water storage This would be the first of many small water bodies which we plan to implement informedfarmers.com Dam Calculations
- 29. After the track and 347m of swale is in place, we plan to implement smaller key line swales up slope from this main swale, taking water from the valleys to the ridges. This will create the ideal conditions for the planting of bio-diverse, highly productive, managed woodland, including such species as Quercus, Castanea , Betula, Pinus, Cupressaceae, Fraxinus, Alnus, Acer, with an understory of Medronheiro and Aveleira. Down slope from the main swale it will soon become moist and humid, a great place for a Food Forest that, with its 7 layers / storeys, will produce a huge variety of yields, from fruit and nuts, to medicines and dyes, fibers and fabrics etc.. Future Plans
- 30. “Come for a walk up the valley again soon and maybe you’ll see a very different picture”
Editor's Notes
- Brief intro to ourselves and our project. The pretentule we see in this area. The centries of work already done Even with the tec we now have we would still find it very diffecult recreate this work Knowledge lossed Introduce doctor Joshua
- Over view of the valley Pipe to carima already in place
- Current situation Ols thin pipe down Challanging root Reasons why taking original root will be.... Speeding up degradation of the land Cursing slope erosion By destroying terraces Many of which are already in a fragile state Removing terrace edge trees Cursing more terrace wall to collapse Increased erosion points In the long term dehydrating the hill side Though lose of topsoil Hill side slumping cursing disturbance to water courses. Creation of destructive & wasteful runoff points in the long term Costing the camera More Longer root up to the mine More track to build and maintain Being a far more effective & efficient use of money, energy, fossil fuels

- Here I'll will prepose slightly different root and hopefully you can see and understand my reasoning for this. Reasons why the Proposed alternative root will be a more regenerative, appropriate and effective approach. Rehydrating the hillside though passive irrigation or Swaleing Creating another water source for irrigation The small dam collects rainwater runoff from the from 15.8 H of hill side catchment A very multi functional strategy with many long term benefits. Rehydration of the landscape Reducing need for irrigation down slope Reforestation of the slopes Creation of a beneficial micro climate For tree growth Catchment of rainwater from the slopes Creation of another water sourse For irrigation Aquaculture Reduces risks of Land slides Fires Drought Flooding Creation of new habitats In the long term costing the camera less Shorter root up the valley Less track to build and maintain Stabilisation of the slopes

- Here is a swale which is a passive way of traping water in the landscape, it rehydrates and replaniches the aquifer creating ideal condictions for vegitive growth, which will fether shade and protect the moisture in the soil. So you see this will bump start the regeneration of these lands. And this is a level sill that will be a the far end of the swale and gentley release water in times of flood over meny meters of perfictly level compacted earth, in this form the water will become totally non erosive as it will flow over the land in a very long thin layer.
- Now I will show you the formation of both the swale and the road and some of the benefits the they will curse

- Here is a look at some of the my calculations and recommendations for the size and volume of the dam
- After the track and 347m of swale is in place, we plan to implement smaller key line swales up slope from this main swale, taking water from the valleys to the ridges and creating the ideal conditions for the planting of diverse managed woodland, including such spp as cork oak, chestnut, silver burch, and oak with an understory of madrona and hazel nut. Down slope from the main swale it will soon become moist and himid, a great place for our food forest that with its 7 layers it will produce huge verity of yelds, from fruit and nuts, to medicans and dyes and fabrics ect.
