Water landscapes
Updated: Oct 24, 2022
Water landscapes - this means that the water should provide the deepest places and valleys. There are laid recesses for the accumulation of water. The coastal surfaces of ponds and lakes become places where forest stands are planted.
Water landscapes solve a great environmental problem. It recesses for retention of water, not insulated by film or concrete, helps to re-fill the natural water tank in the ground and thus reproduce the water balance again.Then forests can grow well again and biotopes thrive. In this way, we can restore landscapes over large areas and avoid desertification by afforestation.
The bottlenecks are determined on the selected section of the channel. Small earthen dams with flat drainage drains for excess water will be built here.
It is also necessary to investigate the soils along the shores of future reservoirs for the ability to absorb and retain moisture. We define at what depth and distance from the shore groundwater will lie down after the construction of reservoirs.
On dry riverbeds, we create a cascade of small dams. We make them in the way that the flood does not erode our dams. To do this, we start preparing each water landscape from the highest points of the watershed. This way, we create conditions for water retention in the tops of valleys. This significantly increases the duration of the rainy season and reduces the effect of a long dry season.
After creating a water landscape on several hectares, we plant trees. Trees multiply the effect of the water landscape. In the future, when the forest is fully formed, it will be able to retain moisture in the soil without the help of structures created by us. The forest becomes capable of self-healing and expansion, if it is not hindered in this.
By creating more new forests, we are significantly slowing global warming. By creating a forest in the desert, we strengthen the stability of the climate balance on our planet.
