Your next step.It starts here.

Water is the one resource most people take completely for granted — until a drought or supply disruption makes them wish they'd thought about it differently.

Why this is harder than it looks.And what actually helps.

In most climates, more than enough water falls from the sky each year to meet a household's needs — it just isn't captured. Rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling, and smart irrigation can dramatically reduce dependence on mains water and lower bills year-round.

PermaGuide gives you a guide that knows your situation — your climate, your land or lack of it, your experience, your goals — and walks with you one step at a time. Not a course. Not a forum. A companion that asks, listens, and remembers.

What your guide asks you first
  • Where in the world you are — climate shapes everything
  • What you're working with — land, balcony, or no space yet
  • What specifically draws you to this topic right now
  • How much hands-on experience you already have
  • What question or challenge you came here with today

What your PermaGuide gives you for this topic.

This isn't a search engine or a directory — it's a personal guide with context about your situation, walking you through exactly this.

  • A guide that designs a water plan specific to your climate and rainfall patterns
  • Step-by-step learning: rainwater collection, swales, greywater, efficient irrigation
  • Hosts and projects with working water systems you can see in action
  • Help sizing and siting water storage for your property
  • Guidance on regulations and what's achievable at different budgets

From curious to genuinely capable.One conversation at a time.

The Permaculture Path is PermaGuide's guided learning experience. Not a video course you sit and watch — a real conversation with real missions that get you outside and doing, between sessions.

Every topic on PermaGuide connects to the Path. Complete it and your guide matches you with a host — a real farm, eco-project, or community — that fits who you are right now.

01Your guide learns your situation — asks questions, listens, and builds a picture of where you actually are.
02You work through guided sessions — each one a conversation, each one ending in a real-world mission.
03Your guide connects you to real people — hosts, communities, and experiences matched to your journey so far.
"We went from watering from the mains every other day to being completely off it in summer. The guide helped us design it — we built most of it ourselves."
