Cultivating Soil, Capturing Water

Restoring organic matter in soil is crucial for enhancing its water retention capacity. Historically, land that had around 7% organic matter can drop below 1% due to unsustainable practices, leading to significant carbon release into the atmosphere. Each percentage of organic matter enables an acre to retain over 20,000 gallons of water, corresponding to roughly one inch of rainfall. As a result, the loss of organic matter equates to a potential loss of about 200,000 gallons of water per acre. Improving soil health not only aids in capturing more rain but also enhances infiltration and reserves water for the ecosystem, benefiting wildlife and reinforcing the water cycle. Practical applications of these scientific principles yield admirable ecological outcomes.
