peru

We can all learn from the community in the Andes in Peru.

They experience rain for 3 months of the year and for the remaining 9 months they don’t get ANY water.

To survive these conditions the ancient Peruvians developed a deep knowledge of the land and its natural water systems. Today, communities still use this knowledge. Reservoirs are used to catch water during the rainy season and then during dry seasons, this water emerges from springs at the lower altitudes where the communities live.

Knowledge is timeless.
