Series FLOWERS OF THE FUTURE :
“DOBRA VODA”
SHORT SYNOPSIS
« Dobra Voda » presents a complementary vision for the climate change.
The greenhouse effect is not the only responsable.
The way the planet surface has been altered by human activities has reached a critical point.
The small water cycle plays a fundamental role to maintain the hydric and thermal balance of our planet.
Its break has led to catastrophic consequences, which reinforce directly the global warming,
in collaboration with the greenhouse effect. This one has been aggravated by more causes than usually presented…
Fortunatly, the small water cycle can be easily and rapidly restored.
From Slovakia to the Basque Country in Spain,
from Korea to Burkina Faso, in France and elsewhere,
simple and efficient solutions allow to reconquest the climate stability at local and global scales.
LONG SYNOPSIS
The great cycle of water is well known: the rain clouds that come from the sea
flow onto the continents and form the network of rivers that flow back into the sea…
The small water cycle, on the other hand, is ignored or misunderstood.
However, thanks to the evapotranspiration of soils and plants
the continents provide more than half of their own water resources.
The water vapour emitted by plants :
– cools the atmosphere by consuming solar energy,
– condenses and falls locally as gentle, regular rainfall,
– dampens temperature differences and avoids storm fronts…
But the modification of the planet’s surface by human activities has reached a critical point.
Deforestation and soil sealing, the grey concrete of cities and the green concrete of intensive farming
have broken the small water cycle and its natural cooling.
Artificial and degraded surfaces produce huge amounts of heat on a scale unknown in the history of mankind.
The greenhouse effect, aggravated by human activities, contributes to storing this unprecedented heat production.
Knowing the different origins of the industrial greenhouse effect also opens up astonishing perspectives.
It is possible to rapidly reverse the spiral of desertification
underway on all continents.
Simple and effective solutions can restore small water cycles locally.
On a global scale, this ecological restoration calls into question
the system of overproduction and overconsumption
which is detrimental to the interests of populations and the biosphere.
