Our Mission
Why Water?
Water is Life - Water dictates the health and abundance of Life on Earth. Yet over the past 10,000 years human activity has systematically drained the landscape, resulting in the desertification of 1/3 of Earth’s Land. Hydrological Disturbance is the leading cause of the increasingly common and severe Drought, Flood, and Fire we are experiencing.
What is the Community?
We are a community of like-minded individuals from around the world, concerned about the health of earth, water, and life. We come together from different perspectives, cultures, and landscapes to learn from, connect with, and support one another in the restoration of our planet. The content within the community highlights the best restoration examples from around the world, showcasing the most important aspects of each.
Is This Community for You?
Water Stories moves you from aware to activated - empowering your ability to make a positive impact for both your waters and your community. You may want to bring water back to your own landscape, gain professional training in a growing and fulfilling field, or even start your own community movement to revive a river. Our hope for this platform is that it will teach and guide you to be successful in your efforts.

Rules of Engagement
This is not a platform to discuss every issue that our world is facing. The world is full of urgent issues to deal with; social strife, economic recession, corruption, and mental crisis just to name a few, and there are many online communities devoted to these. This community is focused solely on restoring the water cycle.
We do not want to be another online distraction. This community is to support your actions in the real world.
Be Respectful
Treat others with love and respect. We know that online communication can be challenging. Please speak and act as you would in person, within a public space.
Be Supportive
Help us keep this a safe space. We all are coming from radically different perspectives, and we’ve all seen the toxicity that social media can create. We welcome all perspectives here, so long as people remain respectful.
Share What You Can
We welcome the sharing of ideas, projects, opportunities including businesses and projects seeking funding, participants, or other community inputs. The general feed and topic areas are the appropriate spaces to promote your projects and businesses, or seek participation from people in the community.
No Politics
We do not discuss politics unless it is directly related to water. In this online space, accountability matters. We expect members to uphold a high level of conduct and respect for one another, ensuring that our intentions, words, and actions in this digital community reflect how we all would like to be treated in a town square. This is our online space and posts that don't represent the values of the community, or ensure a safe space will be removed.
When Things Go Wrong
If a conflict arises that crosses from healthy debate to harmful communication or inappropriate content please report the post. This community is monitored by only a few people, and we don’t have the time to mitigate each conflict. Your membership status will be revoked if you do not adhere to these guidelines.
No Solicitation
It is not appropriate to solicit engagement from community members via direct message. Advertising, or soliciting donations or participation from community members via private message, violates our community guidelines and people who violate this rule can be removed permanently from the platform.
