The keypoint of Deposition (WiP) is the point where the force of water turns from erosive to deposition. Deposition of material and water. This is the point where close contour lines turn to wide. Where steep mountain slope turns to gentle. Deposition is the point where high energy converts to lower energy. Here is the point water accumulates. Here is where we reconstruct the water tank (embalsa) to be able to use the water for regenerating micro hydrological cycles. These are defined by using the accumulated water to restore vegetative growth which in turn keeps the ground covered, shaded and moist. When the sun lands on this functioning ecosystem it infuses that system with energy. That energy causes plants to draw up water and transpire which has a cooling effect beneficial for the continued restoration of ecosystems.

Artist / landscape artist Lisa Peachey and Mediterranean forest ecologist Giulia Variara researched native flora within this area and together and came up with this planting scheme (below), the product of many hours of deliberation and design…
