Coastal waters running from inland in ebbs and flows. A massive 12-hour tide in Barmouth, Snowdonia, Wales UK shows the consistent, neverending cycle of water movement. What happens when this cycle is interrupted by unusual weather patterns and events like cyclones and floods?
The human body starts going into shut down or 'safety mode' if for instance there is not enough water coming in to its system to equalise what is coming out of it, on a 24-hour daily cycle. Skin stretches and cracks, livers weaken, bowel motions stiffen.
What then can we take from the knowledge of the ecology of the water cycle and apply to ourselves, in identifying survival strategies to engage the human in when dealing with gross environmental change?
