    Kudos to the people who change the environment for the better.

    "The great conversation tool — grass." David Bamberger.

    David had 7 wells drilled 500 feet down and no water was found.

    The simple solution was planting native grasses. The grasses' roots helped the rain soak into the soil (instead of runoff and evaporate), and fill-up the aquifers resulting in spring water and ponds.

    Church's fried chicken tycoon David Bamberger used his fortune to purchase 5,500 acres of overgrazed land in the Texas Hill Country. Planting grasses to soak in rains and fill hillside aquifers, Bamberger devoted the rest of his life to restoring the degraded landscape. Today, the land has been restored to its original habitat and boasts enormous biodiversity.

    Restoring the overgrazed land by animal husbandry, by restricting grazing on the barren fields. Therefore letting the native plants grow back to full fruition, and then the soil soaks the rain water.

    Water the life blood of biodiversity, yields green vegetation, wildlife increases and wetlands again.
    Ecosystems have been revitalized in the USA, China, Africa, etc.

    The stewards (bureaucratic policy) of nature made a flood management decision, which became an ecosystem error. Canals were dug and cut through the meandering river, and drained the river’s floodplain. The wetlands are what provide natural habitat and, life to the birds, fish, mammals and vegetation.

    As one who grew-up in the headwaters of the Kissimmee River (East lake Toho), I am personally glad the restoration restored the river closer to its former meandering. The river flows into the largest lake in Florida and the Everglades. Also provides drinking water to all those boat owners in south Florida.

    ~~~

    “Once completed, the Kissimmee River Restoration will be the largest river restoration project in the history of the world. All told, the project will restore over 40 square miles of river/floodplain ecosystem, including 43 miles of meandering river channel and 27,000 acres of wetlands. It is jointly managed by the South Florida Water Management District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.”

    “Initial observations following the restoration of flow to the channel suggest improvements in water quality (especially levels of dissolved oxygen).”
