EARTHWORKS
"Broad-acre permaculture farm design and earthworks are often the first step to start the restoration process, it's what frames the site creating maximum edge for production access and water management."
David Spicer
Site Specific Earthworks can include
Back-flood Swales
To harvest and soak water into the landscape

Building New Dams
Giving site high water for irrigation systems or access across a valley or wet area
Spillways
Passive level sill spillway to create a very gentle exit for water
Internal Roads
For your site that acts as water harvesters to a dam or a series of dams
