Permaculture Water Systems of the Seven Seeds Farm [video]
I like this sort of thing but in Oregon (and I think most places) you can&#x27;t just create a lake and use it for irrigation without permission. even collecting rainwater is considered use of a public resource and needs permission outside of very narrow bounds. I know someone who was able to get permission for a mid-stream lake but even then it&#x27;s not unlimited, it only applied to X acres for Y purpose and could be restricted in dry years.<p>so the video maybe shouldn&#x27;t be a message about &quot;just plop down a pond!&quot; - it should be more about how to navigate local water rights to actually get permission. and I think this should be something that should be permitted more frequently, I think it&#x27;s usually a good use of the public resource, but that&#x27;s where it has to start
