Water is life: for people…

Water is life: for people and for the more than human life! We need to prioritize water for drinking, sustenance and as part of the water cycle. The river systems provide life far beyond the waters or the shores and we need to preserve life. Gravel and extraction are not life-sustaining activities and should not be prioritized but only permitted if and when (if ever) there is sufficient surplus. People and planet are thrifty and need to be cared for by Regenerating river systems and the water cycle. The economy exists within society and as part of the natural systems.
