About Water Stories
We train and connect people to
create meaningful impact through
Decentralized Water Retention.
Whether you’re experiencing Drought, Flood, Fire, Extreme Weather, Water Scarcity, or Ecosystem Collapse - this is the place to transform your concerns into actions. We created Water Stories to empower you to revive landscapes and provide space to connect with communities taking action for a better common future.
How do we train thousands of people to Restore the Water Cycle?
This is the question that gave birth to Water Stories. We are a team of Water Cycle Restoration professionals, creatives, and advocates, set on empowering people around the world to revive rivers, reverse drought, and heal their lands and waters.
Water Stories’ mission is to distill the wisdom of the world’s leading Water Heroes into an actionable training that can be done by anyone. We believe that anyone, no matter your background, context, income, or age, can have an impact on your local Water Cycle.
Why Water?
Water is the source of life on earth. It is also the primary driver of global temperature and climate. Humanity’s increasingly abusive relationship with water has led us down the watershed death spiral, with drought, flood, and fire all increasing in frequency and severity. We can reverse this cycle, and ensure an abundant and productive future - by simply changing our relationship with water.
Why Stories?
New sources of inspiration: the time has come for a new mythology, one that includes our ability to restore the health and abundance of our land. Humans are not just destroyers, we are also creators - we have the ability to co-create with nature a better common future. Stories are the antidote to environmental despair, moving you from aware to activated - empowering your ability to make a positive impact.
Why Community?
Humans are evolved to live and work in groups and we are stronger in our efforts when we work together. Our community allows us to connect with each other, sharing ideas, projects, goals, wisdom and so much more. We believe it is important to provide a space that is dedicated to water and the powerful changes we can create, together.

Hoa PhanI can't thank you enough for the wonderful program you have put together to help partake in this important work of restoring the hydrologic cycle and changing our relationships with ourselves, our natural world and our human kin. It is holistic and really amazing when fully embraced.
Laura HoimyrI learned a lot about how to look at the landscape differently and moved forward on projects I've been wanting to do.
