Elemental Ecosystems Water Stories // Co-design Survey 1

Introduction & Purpose

Over the past decade in water restoration, one of the most common questions we've heard is, “How can I learn to do what Elemental Ecosystems does?” Knowing our limits of availability and the need for water retention work at scale, we have begun to dream up an online education platform to empower people to realize their true potential working with water, and a better common future. Now, to build the best tool possible, we want to hear from you.

Our current concept is to build an online learning platform focusing entirely on water cycle restoration. Elements may include paid online courses, community forums, digital stories, customized mentorship, and simulation games. The purpose of this survey is to understand your needs and preferences so we can design an accessible platform that promotes watershed restoration at a global level with a quality user experience.

We expect this survey to take no longer than 10 minutes. We will review all feedback and integrate it into our next steps. The feedback received here will help shape what we create in the months ahead. We are truly building this platform with you in mind, greatly appreciate your participation, and look forward to your perspective.

With gratitude,

-The Elemental Ecosystems Team
