#JosiahAustin and #ValerAustin built 20,000 loose rock dams and water detention structures in the #desert wasteland of the El Coronado Ranch in the Chiricahua Mountains of SE #Arizona. These structures slow floods by 50%, and increased water retention by 28%, leading rapidly to vegetative growth, wildlife and as much #CarbonSequestration as #CoastalWetlands. Recognized by US govt agencies and science studies.
