How to install ponds, dams, and water retention features, with Zach Weiss from Elemental Ecosystems
In the last interview I did with him, which I’ve linked to in the show notes for this episode on the website, he introduced me to the importance of a healthy water cycle to climate regulation and how it actually plays a much larger role than just the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
In today’s session I wanted to focus more closely on a topic that I get a lot of questions about but have very little personal experience with, and that’s building ponds, dams, and other water storage features on the land. Zach is an expert at this and explains the difference in how sealed and unsealed ponds can have a very different effect on the ecology even if they both hold the same amount of water. He also explains his methods and techniques for reading the landscape to determine the best placement for water features that are sometimes contradictory to simple topography. Be sure to stick around until the end where Zach gives some amazing practical advice for people who are looking to get started on installing their own water retention features and landscapes.
Before we start in with the interview I also want to give you a heads up that the next two episodes will also be deep dives into permaculture earthworks, water retention landscapes and actionable information on how to optimise your land for the best use and creation of water resources, so be sure to check out the next few weeks of episodes too.

Episode 25: Worn&Wound co-founder Zach Weiss
Episode 25 and this is a big one! The guys sit down with Zach Weiss to discuss the journey that led to what Worn&Wound is today. We talk about what got Zach interested in watches, his design background, watches he has owned and currently owns, and what gave him and co-founder Blake the idea to start writing about watches.
Zach tells us how Worn&Wound was started, what their first days were like, their first watch reviewed, and how they decided to start the Wind Up Watch Fair. We also ask Zach about what watches he wears most, favorite watches at certain price points, and what advice he would give his past self about starting the site knowing what he knows now.
It was great of Zach to take time out of his busy schedule to sit down with three fellow watch nerds and share some more of the Worn&Wound story. This is definitely an episode you won't want to miss!
13: Zach Weiss – Restoring a Healthy Water Cycle
In this interview, I speak to Zach Weiss, who runs a business called Elemental Ecosystems. I met Zach a few weeks ago when I took his workshop, where he taught some of his methods for understanding and managing water in the landscape.
Zach works under the assumption that the core reason for many environmental problems is a misunderstanding and poor management of water. By building dams, repairing eroded stream banks and many other tactics, Zach helps people improve their land’s ability to catch and hold water. This has flow-on effects for local climate, drought resilience and financial stability.

#059 - Being In A Band w/ Zach Weiss
Apparently, I stole a girl from Zach Weiss… I don’t remember anything about that, though! Regardless, we’re cool, so today, I share this conversation I had with him. It’s mostly about music and his being in a band. Being in a band just seems so cool.
Check his band, In Absentia, out, here.

Why storing water is more important than storing carbon with Zach Weiss from Elemental Ecosystems: 101
Zach created Elemental Ecosystems as a for-benefit social enterprise focused on solving societies growing environmental problems by considering the elemental relationship between biology and hydrology. In this interview, Zach and I start by talking about the difference between a healthy water cycle and one that’s been compromised. We unpack the reasons why humans have desertified nearly one third of the earth’s land and how we can begin to reverse and regenerate that process. Zach also touches on some of the steps that anyone can take, whether you live on a large farm or a small city apartment, to positively impact the water cycles in your local area, and he also shares many resources you can look into to learn more about watershed regeneration. This interview represents just the tip of the iceberg around water system regeneration and I would love to do a follow-up interview with Zach very soon, so to those of you listening to this, please write to me at info@abundantedge.com and send in the topics and questions you’d like for us to explore in greater depth when I get the chance to continue this series again.

Today I’m joined by Zach Weiss of Elemental Ecosystems working on water retention landscapes.
Thank you Judith D. Schwartz for the introduction to Zach!
Take aways from the interview:
- Climate change is a symptom of the severe water cycle disturbance and there is something we can do about it!
- When the landscape isn’t being recharged with water, it leads to flooding and drought (worst case also fire)
- Humans desertified 1/3 of the earth’s cover the last 10.000 years
- We are carbon based life but the living part is mostly water
- There is much more you (as a land owner/manager) to influence the water cycle on and above your land- Often when we talk about water we talk about big centralised water systems or the weather, Zach is focussed on decentralised water retention landscapes- Sub-irrigated, you use a lot less energy
- Climate changes: everywhere the same story the precipitation is more when it comes and it comes less often
- Large dams and reservoirs are very energy intensive, smaller decentralised water retention systems are much more efficient
- Flood fire and drought mitigation is a sector Zach is very interested in
- Zach is building a platform to franchise his model, to pilot this in 2020
- Huge opportunity for video visual content, what have we done during the last 10.000 years, and our role and our options
- Could be something we all can get behind, water retention.
- We can’t address climate change without addressing the water cycle disturbance
- Zach tries to use most of the time with costumers on the implementation not on the consultation
Advice for investors from Zach (not investment advice): Rewriting natural resource policy management, very often what Zach wants to do is illegal.
