Work on a Permaculture Farm
Konchupata, Bolivia
Since 2014, Certified Permaculture Designer Simon has transformed his land in the Bolivian countryside into a living example of regeneration. What was once barren soil has become a thriving oasis with eco-cabins, a pond, and innovative water management systems. Water is our core focus, and through projects such as watershed restoration and water-efficient designs, we’ve created resilient ecosystems that restore natural water cycles. Our gardens, ponds, and landscapes demonstrate how effective water management can transform the land and create lasting abundance.
Kaiwai Permaculture focuses on rehydrating landscapes and restoring micro watersheds. We achieve this through the strategic placement of ponds, swales, and terraces to capture and manage water efficiently, ensuring that water is available for both ecological restoration and agricultural productivity.
We draw inspiration from successful global projects that have shown how effective water management can solve the worldwide water crisis. Our work is a testament to the power of restoring watersheds, creating sustainable landscapes, and fostering biodiversity, all while addressing the urgent need for correct water management.
