​
With a shift in mindset from reactionary culture to one that designs and prepares for future weather conditions (increased rain, longer droughts) we can interact with water in more ways than we could have imagined and become more resilient to floods and drought. By changing our
“traditional” methods of agricultural farming to ones that can thrive with increased rainfall, We will re-discover our connection to country and live symbiotically with our Australian landscape.
“Design for flooding turns flood threat into opportunity to improve water resources and community resilience at regional, community, and building scale.” (Watson and Adams, 2010)
