Tickets $10. Book your spot here.
Light refreshments served.
We'll be discussing the science, community, planning issues and policy surrounding water and soil health.
Humanity, through its activities (deforestation, agriculture, urbanisation), accelerates the runoff of rainwater and causes draining of the transformed land. Distortion of the small water cycle impacts the large water cycle.
