Team Waterretention

We are a network of people who work professionally and with different focuses on the topic of water and water cycles.

What has brought us together is our connection with and enthusiasm for the element of water. 
What motivates us is the determination to work practically and as advocates for water bodies and awareness of water in the landscape. 
In this way, we want to make our contribution to the stabilisation of ecosystems and the climate crisis. In doing so, we help to preserve what we value.

As a network, we are open and invite everyone who is professionally involved in restoring healthy water cycles or wants to do so in the future to network with us.

As team... 

... we work together on planning and implementing water retention measures in German-speaking countries and beyond.

What we have in common is our orientation towards the latest scientific research and permacultural design principles. We are always striving to create nature-based, self-sustaining systems in which humans and all other living beings can live in balance. 

We bring different knowledge, focus and skills to our work. We are also all part of the international Waterstories Community (www.waterstories.com), which provides us with accumulated experience and innovation from around the world.
