Water Security

Water Security & Infrastructure

Embedding water security into every restoration system through climate-adaptive infrastructure and watershed stewardship.

Water Security & Infrastructure

Pillar Overview

Water Security & Infrastructure

The Water Security pillar builds climate-resilient water systems that hold water in the landscape and strengthen community resilience. Sand dams, subsurface dams, watershed rehabilitation, and catchment design are integrated into broader restoration plans so water security is engineered into the system from the outset.
