The fundamentals of water management for farms

The fundamentals of water management for farms

Today we're going to pause our deep-dive episodes to launch a new series supporting a regenerative agriculture master’s program being developed with European universities, starting with regenerative water management . Interviewed by Marina Bartoletti, Oliver Goshey explains macro vs. small water cycles, emphasizing how vegetation drives local cooling, evapotranspiration, and rain formation via biological nuclei like bacteria and fungal spores, and how devegetation can disrupt precipitation patterns and intensify drought, wildfire, and flood extremes. The episode links Iberian Peninsula heatwaves, shifting rainfall, and desertification to land management, and outlines farm-level responses: boosting soil organic matter and infiltration, reducing runoff and erosion, using shade and windbreaks, improving water quality, and considering nitrogen fertilizer impacts on plant drought stress. It introduces Climate Farmers’ free Water Management Guidebook and previews upcoming case studies and a watershed-scale restoration blueprint.
