Thank you for putting the accurate information in the subtitles. It helps. All the best. And wonderful explaining.

Good work! Ponds and video

Centuries ago during the Great Drought in the American Southwest (ended about 1200 AD), Anasazi were forced to abandon cities and move in small groups into the canyons. There, they built new homes and dammed the canyons. To prevent flash floods, they went high to dam arroyos. There, rocks collected and made the dams stronger. Thin mud and water poured thru the upper dams to flood and fertilize crops.When dams silted up, a new one was added below the old one. The silted dam would be planted in perennial crops like agave, sand cherries, mesquite, and so on.

The images are interesting, and the topic too. But the video feels like some marketing/advertising material, it feels very artificial. Kind of a "'non-profit" company report - no soul included. Just to show past grants were spent OK. And of course "climate change" key-word to have a better chance for the next grant. EDIT: I gave "thumbs up" anyway, as I like ponds and it seems you did some good job despite the shortcomings in this "report".

all water held in places it wasn't means less water in other places. climate change in action. the earth has a finite amount of water, moving it from place to place affects local humidity and weather which is part of the global climate.

Wrong.

[@rickmalaschenko3046]

​@@hvmanara your wrong , all the water being held where it's not meant to be stored. This effects all down stream users , just ask countries below China, that now have water problems due to the damming of rivers. STOP using "climate change" as an excuse for environmental vandalism.

Climate is always changing. That's why climatologist who are not demanding tax dollars from politicians state 'average'. One volcano can mean lower temps and violent storms and have caused an ice age. Lack of volcanic action can mean droughts and high temps. With the greening of the Sahara, the Americas are getting fewer hurricanes, but more violent ones. The Sahara is also seeing more rainfall, which means more greening.

Ive had both of my comments removed. If you dam up stream , users downstream are affected. Please post this one .😂😂😂😂
