Restore water where you live
We teach people the science and practice of healing the small water cycle, and we gather the people already doing the work.
3,000+ people are already doing this work.
The Water Stories community spans farmers, teachers, designers, and neighbors on every continent, learning from each other's contexts and putting water back into their land.
Landscapes are losing their ability to hold water
Floods, droughts, erosion, dry rivers, and declining fertility are all signs of a broken water cycle. Water cycle restoration helps landscapes hold water again, slowly bringing life back to the land.

Stories of regeneration
Water Stories offers a community-centered approach to solving our most pressing environmental crises.
Many ways to begin
Water is not a resource to manage. It is a living system to restore.
Read the land, then slow the water
Every landscape tells you what it needs. We teach you to read the signs, then to slow, spread, and sink water so the land can hold it again.

Good to know
No. Many students start by learning the principles, then apply them later or join a local project.
Not at all. Gardeners, students, planners, and the simply curious all belong here.
Most are self paced. You can finish a foundation course in a weekend or stretch it over a season.
Yes. The community and our follow up sessions are there for the work that comes next.
