1 WATER RETENTION LANDSCAPES as an answer to droughts, floods, and desertification. Tamera, Portugal
2 Tamera, Portugal 2006 Vision of the completed waterlandscape In 2007, the Peace Research Center Tamera started to build a Water Retention Landscape on its property of 150 ha.
3 Landscape situation in the Alentejo:
4 Landscape situation in the Alentejo: Annual precipitation: ca. 700 mm, mainly from October to May.
5 Landscape situation in the Alentejo: Annual precipitation: ca. 700 mm, mainly from October to May. Summer droughts and decreasing ground water table. Increasing land infertility, loss of biomass and biodiversity.
6 Landscape situation in the Alentejo: Annual precipitation: ca. 700 mm, mainly from October to May. Summer droughts and decreasing ground water table. Increasing land infertility, loss of biomass and biodiversity. Analysis: Deforestation, overgrazing and monocultures have hardened the soil and thus interrupted the "Large Water Cycle" (Viktor Schauberger): the rainwater cannot infiltrate the soil anymore. It runs off, causing erosion, loss of topsoil, decreasing soil humidity.
7 Landscape situation in the Alentejo: Annual precipitation: ca. 700 mm, mainly from October to May. Summer droughts and decreasing ground water table. Increasing land infertility, loss of biomass and biodiversity. Analysis: Deforestation, overgrazing and monocultures have hardened the soil and thus interrupted the "Large Water Cycle" (Viktor Schauberger): the rainwater cannot infiltrate the soil anymore. It runs off, causing erosion, loss of topsoil, decreasing soil humidity. Result: Traditional agriculture becomes too risky, farmers give up their land. Rural depopulation leads - in the two meanings of the word - to deserted land.

It runs off, causing erosion, loss of topsoil, decreasing soil humidity. Result: Traditional agriculture becomes too risky, farmers give up their land. Rural depopulation leads - in the two meanings of the word - to deserted land. The Alentejo is in the process of desertification.

10 Our question: Can we reverse this situation?
11 Our question: Can we reverse this situation? Can we re-install the large water cycle as a precondition for food security and biodiversity?
12 Aims of a Water Retention Landscape:
13 Aims of a Water Retention Landscape: - Keep the rain water on the land to give it time to infiltrate the soil
14 Aims of a Water Retention Landscape: - Keep the rain water on the land to give it time to infiltrate the soil - Increase soil humidity
15 Aims of a Water Retention Landscape: - Keep the rain water on the land to give it time to infiltrate the soil - Increase soil humidity - recharge groundwater aquifers
16 Aims of a Water Retention Landscape: - Keep the rain water on the land to give it time to infiltrate the soil - Increase soil humidity - recharge groundwater aquifers - stop erosion and recreate the layer of fertile topsoil
17 Aims of a Water Retention Landscape: - Keep the rain water on the land to give it time to infiltrate the soil - Increase soil humidity - recharge groundwater aquifers - stop erosion and recreate the layer of fertile topsoil - save winter rainfall to irrigate summer cultivation

28 A Water Retention Landscape.
29 A Water Retention Landscape is a landscape that stores rainwater naturally: in the soil, in vegetation, and in retention spaces.
30 A Water Retention Landscape is a landscape that stores rainwater naturally: in the soil, in vegetation, and in retention spaces. No rainwater will leave a water retention landscape, only clean spring water.
