Quick reconsideration, why I like infrastructure
Big enough for hope. Necessarily human.
Comprised of hardware & software.

Stories: [could put transcripts or exerpts of the stories here?]
THE WATERMAN OF INDIA
Also, Jon Lu on Lloess hills, China Mulloon

Refer back to Laura Norman NIDS diagram for framing. Start high.
Refer also to Globe. Show locations of TEK listed afore & below.

Q. Why start high?
The higher in the landscape, the more energetic / potentially valuable, or damaging
Snow (& ice). Seasonal flooding forever, till “modern” development & dams.
°role of snowmelt in watersheds on or along the high plains.
Not S of the Canadian (SHP). Not much of central either (SE CO, Purgatoire).

Artificial glaciers (Himalayas) [could put pictures of each of these here]
Floating wetiands (Waru Waru, Titicaca, Marsh Arabs)
Amunas (pre-Columbian upper Andes
Puqios (pre-Columbian lower Andes)
Qanats, foghara…(middle east)
Johads (Rajasthan India)
Tabias (N Africa)
Acequias (N Africa, N American Southern Rockies)
Weirs (Australia)

Then at the elements themselves. infiltration gallery/trench/pit.
Mulch, horizontal & vertical
Soil organic matter (SOC)
Check dams, gully plugs, NIDS …

Q. Why TEK again? Couched in culture, experience in time at place …

Q. TEK features & functions in re other cycling?
salinity (old vs CRMWA Salinity Mitigation)
thermal. See qanat & ice
agroecologic. Incorporate natural processes, always the software.

To Recap, we’ve made a quick exploration of traditional ecological knowledge. Inspiration & library of concept elements.

How can we apply our learnings to this place?
