S.A.G.E. - Sustainable Ancestral Guidance Engine
🌧️ Water Scarcity
Communities, farms, and ecosystems are running out of reliable water sources — and much local knowledge about water has been forgotten.
📜 Ancestral Water Knowledge
For thousands of years, Indigenous and ancient engineers used terraces, canals, check dams, rock-lined ditches, and spring markers to work with the landscape instead of against it. These systems captured stormwater, slowed erosion, recharged aquifers, and guided snowmelt into fields. Many of these features still exist, but have faded from modern maps.
S.A.G.E. helps rediscover them and bring their knowledge into the future.
🤖 Water Memory Technology
S.A.G.E. combines historic maps, oral histories, soil moisture sensors, climate data, drone footage, and vegetation imaging into one intelligent “water memory” layer. Using pattern recognition and comparisons, the system identifies forgotten canals, buried ditches, and potential spring sites, then recommends restoration zones that offer the greatest benefit for farms and communities.
