Keyline Design
Definition
A permaculture method for maximizing water distribution in a landscape through strategic contour plowing and planting.
Interpretation
Water choreography. Keyline design is how we help water dance across the land — evenly, gently, regeneratively. It’s a strategy for rehydrating the soil and restoring balance.
Living Invitation
Study the contours of a local landscape. Imagine how water might be guided instead of drained. What would you shift if you could?
