Looking for Pilot sites, Collaborations and Joint Proposals
PSKL
- Water For All - We use unpowered technology to accelerate ecosystems.
We
work to reduce drought, fire, flood and changing climate by
rapidly restoring water cycles.
Hello
Friends, We are keen to connect, collaborate, establish pilot sites and joint
proposals with people and projects around the world. Have a look at
the more detailed info below and if you can see potential applications and
projects or want to work with us please contact us at the details below.
I'm
a co-founder of an Australian land regeneration startup company called PSKL -
Water For All. We have some unique Unpowered water harvesting innovations that
work at large scale on landscapes and are both Rapid
and Compounding
in rehydration and regeneration.
Simple,
reliable, antifragile, low tech and quickly scalable. No ongoing emissions.
Great outcomes for Biodiversity, Productivity and Climate. As you know
Water is the engine of Life.
Here's
an example of how the unpowered tech can accelerate ecosystems, increase
cooling, multiply organic Cloud Condensation Nuclei, help create low thick
clouds and moderate climate. Growing topsoils and rapidly increased vegetation
can also help sequester carbon.

Super
charged 100x.mov - What is meant by x100 increased
infiltration TIME?
E.g Land with 80% runoff can be changed into 100% infiltrated and pumped to higher water storage within the first year. Compounding rehydration and regeneration each year after.
This is like having an irrigated garden on a massive scale.
There
are many varied applications. Example
potential project scenarios-
-
Arid Climates - regreening and restoring water cycles. -
-
-
Maximum Infiltration (Brittle climates) - Shock absorbing large weather events, releasing water over time at aerobic amounts when needed for soil and plants. X 100 increased infiltration TIME.
-
Life Life and Water Relay - Multiple pumps in series that can pump discharge water. Particularly useful for high evaporation sites and for rapid borewell recharge. Life Line/Water Relay
-
Remediating Polluted Rivers - Filtering excess nutrients through wetlands and ecosystems or filters and improving water quality that flows back into the river.
-
Dirty water powering the pump, clean water water pumped. The water source for the suction pipe can be modified for a variety of applications. The bunyip pump was invented 20+ years ago. Can be serviced by the pump owner and last a lifetime.
-
Aquaculture and Wetlands - applications for moving or adding water or aeration.
-
Snow Melt - Infiltrating and pumping snow melt. - In some cases doubling usable water availability - Harvesting Snow Melt.mov
-
Best Orographic Effect - Moving water and regenerating areas for best multiplying Orographic effect = Increased rainfall or increasing and improving mountain snowpack.
-
Improving Food and Water Security Projects - Restores water cycles, enables Nature to grow topsoil, and increases productivity. Raises the water table and groundwater quality.
-
Biodiversity projects and credits - Water and moisture conditions can be optimised to benefit key endangered Flora and Fauna species.
-
Fuelless Pumped Hydro Storage - The most suitable largest pump for this is the PA 38 which has been designed but not built yet. Next largest pump is the PA 16.
-
Carbon Projects-
Faster
Growth
- Carbon project vegetation growth is accelerated by increased moisture
availability. This is like having an irrigated garden on a massive scale.
Less
Risk
- Helps to de risk a carbon project so that it is more resilient to drought,
fire, flood, pests and disease. .
Rehydration
benefits
-
Regenerative Livestock operation - Can increase productivity, profit margins and reduce risk for regenerative livestock operations from extreme weather impact.
-
Land Development or Real Estate - Increasing property values by creating water features, raising the groundwater table, improved quality, growing topsoil and increased vegetation.
-
Insurance - Reducing insurance risk from extreme weather events and potentially reducing premium costs
-
Gravity Irrigation applications - Impressive pumping abilities. Has been pressure tested to 750 m elevation. 1000 psi. Testing Bunyip pump to 750 metres vertical lift.
What
are the important considerations to determine suitability for a particular
strategy?
There
are a range of considerations to determine what is suitable for a design
including the site and site managers wholistic context, desires, management
capability and budget, slope, soil, temperature and precipitation analysis etc.
The Regrarians checklist is a useful and comprehensive tool to help explore
these initial design suitability aspects.
Pump
Function for the standard Bunyip Pump:
For the Pump function it needs a minimum
fall of 0.19°
(in degrees) and 0.33% (as a percentage).
New
Prototype:
Noting that Brett and Ralph at Bunyip Pumps are creating a prototype that looks
like two tires on top of each other. This prototype requires no fall. Only
sufficient flow.
These
strategies like Maximum Infiltration and the Life Line can be applied in a wide
variety of contexts and climates. From
the coasts well into the interior of continents that on a large scale have the
potential to change weather patterns.
Potential
sites where it wouldn’t work?
Sites
that are too
steep
for swales or have soils that are not stable. (For Maximum infiltration
applications) . Terraces may be better suited in some steeper areas.
Moving
Sand dunes
can interfere with key swale heights. An enclosed water option like the Life
Line Water Relay may prove better in that situation.
Sites
with a lot of large rock can likely not be cost effective for earthworks.
Although explosives may be an option to make earthworks possible in some
scenarios.
In
summary
the reliability and compounding effect of Unpowered technology adds exciting
design and application possibilities to Rapid regeneration of sites.
The
cooling, moderating and regenerative capacity of Nature is massively
underestimated IF we steward the land for more life and diversity. The
time for action is now!
If this interests you it would be great to talk or email further and get into more detail.
