Reviving Hope: From Barren Wasteland to Resilient Oasis

Witness the incredible transformation from a barren wasteland to a thriving oasis in Africa's desert! Two years ago, this land in Senegal seemed impossible to revive, but thanks to the determination of villagers and the UN World Food Program, life has returned.

In Spain I try to do more or less the same at the moment. No considerable rain for almost one year now.The completely dried out soil lookes very similar to this.

I remember when this first started, I was young then, now it’s a big blessing, lot’s of respect for the effort.

[glenissansom]

Amazing community effort. I didn’t even see a single machinery. Some of the money used in war should be invested to something like this, the world would be a better place.

I wonder how they protect the soil against being blown away by storms.
In Spain where we try to establish rainwater retention systems we have storms of 100, 120 and more km/h. Not sometimes but on a very very regularly basis. Often they blow a whole week long, night and day.
How can you manage this when the soil is just bone dry dust like seen here in this video?

Naturally, all you need is to WANT to do it!!!

Low-Tech is the best. Save the world with moon pools, swales, and ponds!
