In this episode, we plunge into the restoration of water cycles with Alpha Lo, an investigator and researcher dedicated to global water cycle restoration [https://climatewaterproject.substack.com/]. Join us as we explore how rehydrating the earth and soil, replenishing groundwater, and transforming drought-fire- and flood cycles affecting various regions can slow down or reverse climate change. Listen in to learn about the small water cycle, the impact of deforestation on rain, and how nature-based solutions can be more powerful than technological interventions.

Water, water everywhere. Or perhaps there used to be a great deal more water everywhere, particularly in the soil. The Climate Water Project started by Alpha Lo is a resource for understanding how we might restore the water cycle. It is possible and already happening around the globe in certain countries. 

While it is not yet happening at scale, we can aim our sights and actions toward this possibility. Restoring the water cycle, particularly through regenerating the soil and reforesting or greening the planet for longer, can indeed change the trajectory of this planet. For life to continue, it is imperative for us to participate in: slow water, the small water cycle, and restoration of groundwater, local watersheds and rainfall. Hear Alpha Lo of the Climate Water Project wax on about all things water and how we might participate in its return.

Alpha Lo publishes the Climate Water Project newsletter [https://climatewaterproject.substack.com/] and hosts the Climate Water Project podcast. He operates as an investigator and researcher into the interaction of ecology and climate via the water cycle. He studies how to restore our water cycles, and is working on numerous ecorestoration projects. He comes from a background in physics and permaculture, and teaches about water in Permaculture Design Courses. His substack and podcast focus on, of course, the water cycle, and how leveraging these forces helps with hydrating the earth and soil, replenishing groundwater, restoring rains in drought areas, lessening flooding, and slowing down climate change.

The Climate Water Project: Rehydrating the Earth with Alpha Lo

President Trump reinstates Confederate military base names, reigniting debates on racial justice and historical symbols amid concerns over costs and marginalized communities’ representation.

Chilling Return of Confederate Base Names Angers Black America

EcoJustice Radio presents environmental and climate stories from a social justice frame, featuring voices not necessarily heard on mainstream media.

Our purpose is to amplify community voices, broaden the reach of grassroots-based movements, and inspire action. We investigate solutions for social, environmental, and climate issues with an eye to advance human health, steward wild landscapes, and solve the climate crisis across the USA and the world.

Featured weekly on KPFK Los Angeles and KPFT Houston, and found on all major podcast apps. We are nationally syndicated through the Pacifica Network and PRX and heard on public radio stations across the US and downloaded in over 25 countries.

Co-hosts Jack Eidt, Carry Kim, and Jessica Aldridge present a broad range of perspectives: land defenders and water protectors; Indigenous leaders, front/fenceline community spokespeople; youth organizers; ecosystem and land stewards; regenerative farmers and permaculture specialists; spiritual and faith leaders; environmental health advocates and practitioners; documentary filmmakers; climate scientists; and political decision makers.
