About Drylands Alliance for Addressing Water Needs

Drylands Alliance for Addressing Water Needs (DAAWN) is both a working farm/ranch restoring Arizona’s grasslands using holistic land management and a research, demonstration, advocacy, training, and support center for regenerative land management practices. We are committed to helping others learn to restore our communities, land, and watersheds through regenerative agriculture. Toward that end, we serve as the Arizona Hub for the Savory Institute Hub Network - a global community of Holistic Management practitioners. We are the only Savory Hub that is focused primarily on water security and offering land management as an alternative to traditional engineering for solving the problems created from desertification, including large-scale events such as dust storms, wildfires, invasive species, soil loss and erosion, flooding, and the urban heat island effect. While each Savory Hub is a little different, they all offer consulting and training services, state of the art content and tools, and a network of practitioners and other resources necessary to create the scale of impact needed at the ground level. Through our work with WEST Consultants, Inc., a leading specialized water resources engineering firm with offices in Arizona, Texas, California, Oregon, and Washington, we are also establishing land management as a complementary, or even alternative, approach to watershed issues that engineering has not been able to solve. In affiliation with WEST, a land management service line focused on resource management, with emphasis on animal impact, is being developed to balance the water resource needs of humans and the environment. Our collaboration with WEST also reflects our commitment to informing and enriching our land management practices through cutting edge scientific and engineering techniques.
