Transforming Environmental Sustainability with Innovative Solutions
Terra Nova Technologies and The Flow Partnership
The two organisations Terra Nova Technologies and The Flow Partnership (TFP) have forged a significant strategic partnership with a groundbreaking vision to transform the way we restore natural landscapes and water resources around the world. This collaboration aims to speed up the progress towards Net Zero targets by integrating two critical factors economy with ecology for the humankind, by maintaining their organisations identity.
Over the past two decades, by working closely with donors, local communities, governments, and policymakers, The Flow Partnership have set up a new standard in environmental sustainability, completed a number of worldwide projects successfully, and agreed to use Terra Nova’s technological platform to market their projects, attract funding and engage with stakeholders including local communities. Some of the TFP projects are now live on the Terra Nova website and ready for accepting donations & funding from the interested parties.
Terra Nova is a cloud based free to use app, with an advanced web3 blockchain technology enabled platform that provides innovative solutions to all sizes of organisations including NGOs and individuals across the globe, to contribute to global sustainability efforts. Through this platform, Terra Nova is making it possible for people to engage in environmental actions while having some fun.
Terra Nova’s Mission and Vision
Terra Nova operates with a unique concept. It offers Crypto LogiE Tokens to its partners and contributors, and the funds generated are used for critical environmental projects. These projects include reforesting Baran lands, creating ponds and water resources, for the local communities to have a sustainable life, without migrating to the other parts of the world. The aim is to address pressing environmental issues while integrating advanced technology with sustainable practices.
The core mission of Terra Nova is to harness technology to support environmental regeneration. By offering Crypto LogiE Tokens as a means of support, Terra Nova is creating a new model for funding and implementing eco-friendly initiatives.
This approach combines the advantages of modern technology with a commitment to environmental duty of care.
Strategic Partnership with The Flow Partnership
The Flow Partnership is a prominent UK-based NGO dedicated to enhancing landscapes and reducing environmental risks such as floods, droughts, soil erosion, and habitat loss. Their work aligns closely with Terra Nova’s mission to provide innovative solutions for global environmental challenges. Below are some of the strategic works carried out by The Flow partnership.
Natural Water Solutions
Slowing the Flow
1. Addressing Floods and Droughts:
Agricultural drainage and land management practices play a crucial role in determining whether a catchment area faces flooding or drought. Excessive water runoff often leads to flooding downstream, carrying away valuable topsoil.
Additionally, this runoff does not allow sufficient time for water to soak into the soil, leaving aquifers unreplenished and leading to future droughts. This disruption of the “Small Water Cycle” results in unpredictable and extreme weather conditions.
2. Natural Water Solutions:
One of the key strategies employed by The Flow Partnership is the use of Flow Intervention Structures. These structures are strategically placed within catchment basins to slow the flow of excess rainwater.
By allowing the rainwater to soak into the ground, these structures help minimize the volume of water traveling downstream. This reduces the risk of flooding and the need for costly engineering solutions.
Additionally, slower-moving water is less erosive, which helps retain topsoil and reduce nutrient and pesticide runoff into rivers. By replenishing aquifers, these solutions help avert droughts and restore stable weather patterns.
Moreover, Flow Intervention Structures can create valuable habitats for endangered wildlife.
At their core, Natural Water Solutions are designed to offer multiple benefits. They address environmental issues at their source rather than merely fixing symptoms. By working with the natural system as a whole, these solutions are both effective and sustainable.
Success Stories and Case Studies
- In Rajasthan, India: The introduction of “Johads” (traditional water harvesting structures) allows monsoon rains to soak into the ground, replenishing the aquifer and enabling previously dry rivers to flow
- In the UK: Flow Intervention Structures hold back floodwaters, allowing them to soak into the ground and prevent downstream Simple land management practices, such as not removing fallen trees from rivers, have also demonstrated significant positive impacts on water flow and soil retention.
- In Slovakia: The “New Water Paradigm” approach provides a scientific basis for working with water and addresses the need for innovative solutions to water management challenges.
Visit to the UK Westminster House of Lords
In June 2024, an event organised by The Flow Partnership owners Minni Jain and Philip Franses, at the UK Westminster House of Lords to talk about starting The Flow Partnership’s new Food Forest Fund project. This visit was important for pushing forward the partnership’s goal of improving the environment through new ideas.
At the House of Lords, they discussed the main goals of the Food Forest Fund. This project aims to create food forests that will help local communities and the environment. The food forests will provide sustainable food, restore natural habitats, and enhance local ecosystems.
The visit shows how serious The Flow Partnership are about working with top policymakers to make real changes for the environment.
Summing Up
Terra Nova’s innovative technological solution, combined with The Flow Partnership’s expertise, is setting a new approach to the environmental sustainability. By integrating advanced technology with practical solutions for reforestation and water management, they are making a significant impact on global environmental challenges.
Their comprehensive approach encompassing policy, project management, research, education, and finance demonstrates a commitment to creating lasting and meaningful change to the sustainability of our planet Earth. The Flow Partnership projects are now live on the Terra Nova website and ready for accepting donations and funding by the interested parties.
To make things more excited, a small number of Terra Nova’s Crypto LogiE Tokens will also be offered to the donors of The Flow Partnership organisation if Donors wish to get something in return for their donations/contributions to The Flow Partnership projects (though this is an optional choice by their Donors and subject to the availability of LogiE Tokens on offer).
