When I was growing up in a village in Kerala, most houses were of one to two acres of land. In each house, there was a pond. Then there were bigger ponds attached to temples where people went to take bath. The village then always had water. Now things are different. Houses are in small plots. Ponds are not there anywhere. Water problems have started despite the fact that Kerala has two monsoons. In June July and in November.

People here are commenting that deserts should be converted into these green Areas. People don't know that deserts are also very important. The monsoon of India is dependent on Our Thar Desert. So It's a very bad idea to eliminate desert. Although we should do efforts to stop desertification. We should plants more trees around the desert not in the desert. Although I love the efforts of rain water harvesting. Good work 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sidharthapatra4296]

I think villages don't cover whole of the desert but scattered randomly leaving a large portion of the desert uninhabited. So planting in and around the villages only may not do any harm!

[@irmar]

Yes but there is much more desert now than there was a century or two ago, because people cut trees and overgrazed land and built concrete cities. The useful deserts are a much smaller area than what exists today, So it's not only about stopping at our current situation, but going back a century or two, when green coverage was optimum. More trees equal more rain, because of the moisture they release into the atmosphere.
