@artonair as you are from Austria, you probably can enjoy the German version: /watch?v=2MJllVO3tLI

The water retention dam was a cleaver solution for the community, as shown in the film. It was built basically for the community.

However water dams have pros and contras such as the creation of a micro-climate and evaporation, elevation of the phreatic sheet, dams alter the flow regimes and physical habitats, sediment transport, water temperature and chemistry. A population of algae, benthic macroinvertebrates, riparian vegetation, and resident and migratory fish will be created with the dam.

@ricbraun1 The big dams built on this earth create a huge environmental damage and in fact have more contras than pros! But the water retention spaces are alternatives that empower the people to create autonomy food and water. The negative effects of dams will not appear in these decentralized and natural systems if they are built in the right way.

Viktor Schauberger tried to teach these truths 80 years ago and practically no one would listen to him. Perhaps mankind has come to the point where we can learn these principles and manifest free energy technologies based on water and air implosion. Great work! I have visited Portugal and it is a magical place. Many Blessings

Thank you, Laila, Douglas and Ludwig! Beautiful and so important video!

[SaraHeartsGirls]

@GMgracemedia They do create autonomy, which is great. Is it possible though, that certain things that we think are beneficial have adverse effects that we are unaware of? A bad example of this would be compact fluorescent light bulbs vs. incandescent, there is a trade off of mercury exposure for increased efficiency. Thanks!

awesome!

[vidaripollen]

very nice video.

[tj21bem]

Sepp Holzer is a very generous hero! Please post more videos on the creation of these water catchment areas step-by-step.

[ricbraun1]

Okay,

Thanks for the reply.

Good luck

"Ask nature, and think with/like her," (loosely translated). Love that thought. Very pleasant video to watch. Sepp has yet again helped to create another Eden on Earth. We're so blessed with such an abundant earth and teachers like Sepp.

Thanks so much for sharing,
