How This Woman Has Restored Dry Desert Rivers Into Green Oasis Flowing With Water Forever!

This is how to restore degraded and eroded desert landscapes into thriving ecosystems at large scale! Drought, flooding and wildfires are all problem people around the world are facing and it all comes down to water. However it doesn't have to be this way, there's actually a solution that benefits the environment and has the ability to regulate your local climate for the better! All thanks to Florence 17,000 hectares of land have been restored in the desert at the regenerative ranch called Rancho Cacachillas.

There is a guy in Texas named Shaun Overton I'd like you to keep an eye on. He has a KZbin channel and is starting from brand new land and building a desert forest. If you want to see it happen in real time, it's really interesting. He is building man made check dams and terra forming, and starting on the first stages of organic matter on the landscape. He has already had success and failures in working with nature. He recently acquired a type of bio mesh and will be using it soon, it will make a large impact on plant growth.

Leaky Weirs are working in Australia too. Peter Andrews builds them using logs, branches, rocks and rubble, and carves shallow gutters from behind the leaky weir out into the land on both sides. They cause excess water to spread out and hydrate the surrounding paddocks. I really like the gabion walls tho, they will probably get trees and reeds growing in them too.

[@libertas5552]

Native tress planted near the stream/river banks will eventually create shade over some of the river. Hence, it can slow or lessen the evaporation of the surface water and keep the water cooler. In addition to creating more habitat for animals and plants.

[@kellyr6116]

This is awesome and fantastic. I formerly co-directed a hybrid education and citizen-fueled habitat restoration project, specifically with small remnants of Southern California coastal dunes, uplands, working in partnership with coastal wetlands restoration. I loved consulting with biologists and collaborating with state agencies as well as educational institutions and businesses. Our project was multi-faceted with multiple goals: education, community building, youth empowerment, and restoring rare coastal habitats - restoring the earth and ourselves all in the same. At the end of my 10 years with the project, we witnessed the return of a native species of butterfly that had been missing from the coastal dunes for 3 decades, and saw the return of various species of native birds and insects. I've been out of the field for several years, but these kinds of projects give me great joy and are close to my heart. We should be tending and restoring the earth everywhere. And though not directly related but an important side-note - along with desertification, we have infused our rivers and oceans and our own bodies, with plastics, and we must strive for solutions and reduce plastics and chemicals in our environments.

[@Nitemage1]

There’s a guy in Australia who did the same thing, he started by placing his cattle and there hay in different parts of the land and imported donkeys for the hillsides, 20 years later and 50 out of the 170 acres he owns is green and ponds and waterways are all alive again.

Another great project utilizing the principles of perma-culture developed by Bill Molison back in the early 1970's, with the use of Terracing, swales, Bunds & trenches etc. many other ways to collect water in the ground, to develop planting to safe guard the earth and develop sustainable ecosystems. The chinese have used the same systems to green several deserts, along with projects in various parts of Africa. so good to see that humans are learning to work with Nature, but a pity Bill Mollison doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

Water when behind gabions is percolating like coffee. Fast in the beginning and slow at the end but still going on. Slow motion like nature does it everywhere . I love the idea of percolating and that’s what water is doing anywhere. Nature works silently for the benefits of all. No fast talking but action everywhere. I just loved the documentary. Imagine now that thousands of villageois (French word for village people) start working in order towards the same goal . That’s what is happening in India (Maharastra) and showed by Pani Foundation . Large scale on stage. What if no more deserts in America ?

I was taught this in high school in the 80's back in Africa, and we went out in the field, used stones to build a wall, and more frequently. Your walls are better, taller, thanks to the wire type chain link fence structure. Apply what you have. Wild fires in California, that is the result of human intervention, prevent or kill fires. Result is excessive forest floor build up thanks to no frequent fire that did not kill trees. Now big fire kill trees, need fir breaks and forest clearing.

Gabions or rockdams can benefit from swales , on contour, sloped away from the drainage, and towards a ridgeline. This increases the storage capacity. Instead of overflowing the dam, excess water can flow off in the swale.

[@samdegoeij6576]

Here in the Netherlands we have both retention and drainage projects and the emphasis has been shifting more and more to retention especially in the east and south of the country where the ground is more sandy than the peetbogs of the rest of the country and it has greatly lessened the damage of the last great flood of the Maas-river. There was still a lot of damage but nothing as bad as in Belgium and Germany. Where some of the streams and rivers feeding the Maas caused terrible tragedies in Germany a village was heavily damaged and most people were traumatized and there were quite some deaths because they had no precautions, while the Dutch government had warned people days ahead. In Belgium a hydrodam in the Ardenne nearly burst and would've wiped out an entire valley, where all villages were flooded for weeks and help took a long time to come due bureaucratic fights between the different layers of government. The Netherlands has long pushed surrounding countries and France and Luxemburg to clean up their water and work on their floodprevention along the big rivers so it doesn't dump all the pollution and excess water in our tiny country where these rivers meet the sea. It's what saved our butts multiple times and it's also where our bread is buttered with expertise nowadays.

[@johnpritchard8946]

@LeafofLifeWorld I'm not qualified to really answer your question. However, I'll make a few comments. 1. There are areas where coastal erosion is a concern here but gabions aren't designed for this. 2. I've heard of topsoil erosion when farming becomes too intense or vegetation is cut back. 3. Yes, we do have floods due to heavy rain and there are complaints about blocked drains or poorly maintained defences. 4. Concreting over areas that previously allowed natural drainage can be a problem. 5. Maybe there are some places where gabions could be used to slow water down. Beavers were used to do this on the river Otter. I'm a great fan of working with nature and low tech solutions so love the gabion idea. Thanks again for the video.

[@Frostfern94]

@@LeafofLifeWorld We only use them in gardens really, we have other ways to prevent flooding and erosion, like using Beach Replenishment (just topping up lost sand and material on beaches with other sediments like wood, rocks, sand, and other minerals), using Groynes (slows down Longshore Drift), Rock Revertments , Rock Breakwater, and Sea walls (all these three limit the wave energy and prevent erosion). Coastal erosion and flooding is our main issue. We also have started bringing back the Beaver too so I imagine that will see some changes. Brighton has Groynes, Weston-super-Mare has sea walls, groynes, sand dunes, etc... as they have the second largest tidal range in the world, Lydd and Romney Marsh recently got new sea defences, though I can't recall what off the top of my head but they cost like £40m

[@frankiemiles-d7e]

The Gabion is a simple principle in nature of how ice flow builds up rocks and sediments to trap water creating massive lakes which eventually ruptured. On a small scale no problem. On a large scale, ticking time bomb. Also, several north and south native American people had the same principle in the archeological sites. Slowly trapping moisture creating humidity which when added to what nature provides naturally contributes to more moisture and rain

Okay, so the solution is to just slow down the waterflow, so more of it stays in the area for longer. But the part about trees being "rain antennas" is surprising. But it is also makes sense, since for a rain to occur the water vapor needs to condense on something. Nature is truly genius.

How come CERN has only recently come discovered this idea of trees capturing the droplets of rain when my childhood books reflect this exact same circuit of rain cycle?

[@LeafofLifeWorld]

The water cycle is in the existing books what is not known about until recently is how trees attract rain through particle that help to condenstation into rain

The landscape reminded me of Morocco which is very mountainous. The idea of making small dams is being applied even in UK to reduce winter flooding downstream.

If you like the idea of this there is a channel called Shaun Overton Dustups that’s doing this in the chihuahuan desert in Texas. Obviously though he’s doing on a much smaller scale but it’s a great watch!
