The association Eau Bien Commun Bugey Sud is organising a weekend event called ‘Fête de l'eau autour du Séran’ (Water Festival around the Séran).
In recent years, droughts, floods and forest fires have become more frequent, and the watchword is ‘we must adapt’.
Free event.

Fighting waste, protecting resources, selecting drought-resistant seeds... Sure! But is this the only way, the only lever we have at our disposal to develop our resilience on a regional scale?
Friday 12 September at 7.30pm:
Lecture by Samuel Bonvoisin ‘What if we could cultivate water?’
For 3.5 billion years, life has not only adapted to climate change. It has literally changed the climate for its own benefit. Temperatures, atmospheric composition, wind patterns, precipitation, available freshwater resources... How do living organisms organise themselves to improve the habitability of our planet? And how can this inspire us to rethink our way of being in the world as humans?
In this lecture, Samuel invites you on a journey to understand hydrological cycles and discover the diversity of regenerative hydrology practices, which have been used for over 50 years in Australia, the United States, Mexico, India... and which he has been helping to develop and adapt in France since 2016. In these anxious times for our children's future, he hopes to help light our way with a story of hope, showing that we can do much better than watch our planet burn if we decide to let ourselves be inspired by living things.
This conference is free of charge. It will take place at the opening of the Water Festival organised by the association Eau Bien Commun Bugey Sud on 13 September as part of EBC BS's partnership with the AMI project in Colomieu.
Saturday 13 September from 9am to 7pm:
guided walk along the Séran
Nature activities
Conferences, workshops, round tables, exhibitions, videos
Show: ‘The Man Who Planted Trees’
