Keyline Design Institute
Research and Education in Keyline Design Practices and Concepts
Keyline design is similiar to Permaculture Design yet with specific to broad-acre scale and water and soil restoration. We are undergoing the new formation of a Keyline Design Institute for North America, This group is for all those who have in their hearts and minds the need for Keyline Design Techniques. We are hoping to engage and instigate this conversa ...learn more

I asked Mr. Yeomans a couple times about his thoughts if he was interested in creating a video and didn't get a strong sense of interest. I noticed last year Darren D. was going to do a Santa Barbara course and I requested him to get some on video, and so far there are about 5 vid.s on youtube/google vid of that. Just to let people know what actions I've tried so far.

Love this idea! I know that the whole KDC at Orella ranch was filmed and thus there is alot of footage and it would be great to build on this and put together some shorts, maybe when darren is back this spring and summer we could build on this, i am very much excited and intrested.

Guner here from Orella Ranch. Hello all. Yes Logan filmed A LOT of stuff during the KDC here on Orella. What has become of all that I do not know. Also, Geoff Lawton has just come out with his short movie "harvesting water- the permaculture way". I have not seen it yet but this could be just what your looking for. I plan on buying it so I will let you know what i think of it. Guner

While these are not the best user friendly intro to 'Keyline principles', I am happy to see this start and the permaculture water harvesting vid., to get the message out.

Here are some of my favorite points on keyline:
Keyline landscape design (I love this concept of rainwater harvesting for communities and people. Has following capabilities: (not in any specific order)
Stops and heals errosion
Perfect for the foothills
Very economical (low cost); principles can be applied on a small front yard to a million acres+
'Keyline' exploded the myth that it takes decades, or longer, to produce topsoil
Keeps water up high for free gravity use later vs. letting it run straight to the ocean/sea
Spreads water towards dry ridges so all the landscape can receive water
Keep a green farm/yard while drought devistates others
Fastest method in the world for irrigation (irrigating land), and creating topsoil
Promotes balance between diverse pasture and forest
Ideal and logical land layout for beauty and functionality
Land layout stops or dramatically resists wildfire
Supports and promotes ideal toward totally organic/biodynamic living
One book title "Water for Every Farm"
Eliminate or reduce dependence on local water compainies and water bill
Heals global warming shockingly quick, as the soil sequesters carbon at the same time as making fertile soil
People and landowners can do it themselves
Biologically cleans/purifies runoff
Recharges well water and increases ground water/aquifer storage
Supports self-relaince and empowerment as opposed to dependence upon government and others
