Seems like the own definition of forest to me.

Incompatible with arsonists and liquid gold diggers in any case. They must to choose one path or the other. Is either returning the water that forests own, so there is clouds, so there is snow, and punish severely arsonists, nature eaters and boycoters..

Or accept the place being sucked dry for money until the resource vanishes for everybody
