The bigger and more mature the better. Old growth are most powerful and most systemically-integrated. Slow water is better than fast.

Total amount depends entirely on conditions of the tree, its ecosystem, and current climate. Contact Chris througth BioIntegrity.net to get help with an estimate for total water needed on a site, scaling-up, scaling-down, etc.

Rehydrate to "Cold".
21
Sites 1 and 2 located on Owl Hollow Road, zip code 78666.
rehydrate each tree's moisture circulation capacities. As a best indicator: you should feel cool or "cold" coming from an old growth tree, hours after full-rehydration is complete. if you do not, wait and watch for up to 72 hours. Once you are sure, apply more slow water as needed.
22
Thanks to Mary, JP, and Kevin for their hospitality.

Times and gallons are approximate to within half an hour and 15 gallons per session.

 • Stimulate Systemic Cooling (Air & Moisture) Circulation.
27
water at least 2 groves (5 or more superlative trees creating one canopy). water against the passive winds (start with the tree fartthest from the passive winds source). Repeat the "Trickle and Wash" techniques until no longer effecttive. Add new techniques, e.g. shotputs, waterbombs, cooling hotspots, restoring the sponge, etc. Be sloppy. It's even ok to have fun.

Choose Power Location.
30
align with the prevailing winds over "the area" you wish to relieve of drought. Find a watering site upwind of "the area", which meets all four of the criteria above.
31
... help large areas (over a region) -- find the two best-resourced groves of deciduous trees at the beginning of the largest, continuously-connected, vegetated system connecting to "the area" you wish to help. Water there. Consider a series of waterings which begins with rehydrating like-grove "hubs" downwind of your main artery (two groves).
32
... help large properties (ranches, campuses, parks, etc.) -- devote most of your water to your most droughted, most isolated, superlatives and to the largest deciduous trees you can access, which are strategically-aligned with the prevailing winds.
33
... help homes, medians, small landscapes, gardens, etc. -- rehyderate largest deciduous trees, first!!

Timing Is Everything.
37
healthy trees bring rain. Time grove rehydration completion with the arrival of forecasted atmospheric moisture. There has to be moisture in the sky for most droughted systems to "generate rain". A forecast of 20% rain or even just clouds (depending on conditions) can be enough to stiumulate rain.
