He explains that directing water flow on a piece of land allows us to see how our world is a closed-loop system; how everything is connected. Rain that falls onto your roof, can run into a gutter system that leads to a rainwater collection tank, from there the water can be stored for later use during a dry period on a garden. When the water enters the soil, it allows seeds to germinate and grow into nutritious food. We eat the food, and either directly compost, or feed the scraps to small animals (such as ducks) who replenish the soil with nutrients in their droppings. The re-nourished soil then obtains more water in times of dryness from the rainwater tank and the whole cycle begins again.
