Half-moons greening Mauritania

In Mauritania, communities work hand in hand to make their land fertile again. A traditional technique called "half-moons" is used to reduce water runoff and trap the scarce rain inside the half-moons, thereby increasing water infiltration and improving food and fodder production.

Planting trees all over can help create a good area for agriculture... The trees will help keep the temperature pleasant for livestock also.

What a great man And great choice of words for his education, it is really humbling to share nationality with such a man.

[americapie]

Working together anything can be accomplish. This is good news to hear coming out of Mauritania.

Traditional farming communities in Korea developed a system called JADAM, which has been proven to be used to make the land more alive. Namely maximizing the use of plants that have certain ingredients that are adapted to local conditions, livestock manure, mineral salt water, and other materials that are easily available nearby, then connected and integrated with the food chain system between plants, animals and humans, including the use of microorganisms. .
I have started applying it to several areas of land that have been damaged, because the humus has been lost due to mining activities on the island of Kalimantan, Indonesia, where the condition of the soil is very similar to the condition of dry desert soil and is almost rocky.
This effort is showing very good results and if this is tried to be applied on the African continent and other desert lands, it seems that it will slowly improve naturally and bring benefits that move very quickly.
Greetings from me in Indonesia and it would be very good if the JADAM system which was pioneered by agricultural experts in Korea is implemented.
Please see this method which has been widely broadcast on many YouTube channels, as a reference.
Good luck and greetings to a healthy and green earth.

Half moons are also called Swales, a Permaculture technique for retaining rainfall, recharging the aquifer underground and growing trees and plants for agriculture.

Nature is just begging us for a chance... What will it take for us to finally start to undo all the damage we have done?

They need to reduce tillage and instead incorporate covercrops and graze as a village, not as individual households, to improve the surrounding vegetation. Regenerative practices begin with reducing tillage, and include water structures when necessary.

Has there been tracking of depth of aquifer as measured at wells, before and after projects? I guess my question is whether the retained water affects soil moisture below depth of crop roots. Presumably it would take at least several years to see a noticeable difference, if at all. Does someone take up the task of measuring precipitation on a systematic basis?

Solar powered dehumidifiers, along with battery excavators would be of significant support. Battery acid batteries for energy storage would also be a boon.

[MauFilm]

Too short. Please make video with more information, the progress, the update. Thank you

[yikertamamushet]

Good job keep up the good work, you have to push the desert back. It will cool down the area and it will bring rain. Trees have been neglected for decades 👏

[DGPPhysics]

Great project, if do it applying agroforestry will be even more self-sustainable.

[DungNguyen-cuj]

Well will this project happen in australia and middle east?

Here are some of the keystone animal species that contribute to the health of the Sahel region:

Addax: The Addax is a critically endangered antelope species known for its distinctive spiraled horns.
Dama Gazelle: One of the largest gazelle species, recognized for its elongated and slender horns.
Sahel Gazelle: Another important gazelle species in the region.
West African Lion: Majestic and resilient, the lion plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance.
African Elephant: Despite the challenges, elephants inhabit the Sahel and contribute to its biodiversity.
Secretary Bird: This unique bird species also plays a role in the ecosystem.
These animals have adapted to the Sahel’s harsh conditions, and protecting their habitats is essential for their survival. Addressing threats such as habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict is crucial to maintaining a healthy Sahel ecosystem 1. 🦁🌿🌍

Real men fighting for their future! But I could help them a lot, with my knowledge to do more...I love that ecologic living people and that enviroment.

Just my opinion, I think the half moon water harvesting system is the best out there. You can calculate what the worst event day would be for your rain dig your half moons deep enough to hold that much water and nothing will ever go down the hill past him save 100% of your rain do this to top of your property, sacrifice it to catch water I believe there’s no maintenance in this. I wish I had someplace to build this. I live in the city.
