The Power of Rain Drops
A large portion of the Namibian rangeland has been incised by erosion gullies down which much of the rainwater flows away, leaving the rangeland drier and less productive than in the past. Application of grazing management is usually insufficient on its own to restore protective grass cover where gullies dry the landscape. Therefore, various restoration techniques have been applied in different sites, relying mainly on local resources.

Namibia people should also dig the water collecting bunds like Zai, Demi lunes, swales or stone walls originated from Ethiopia or sahel belt of Africa.
Make swales and also small dams on the couse of creeks and rivers to kind of slow the currents down, using rocks, also sandy chicken wire traps to stop de sediments from flowing away, as well as planting drought resistant trees of rapid growth to stop erosion! So on and so forth!

Angry water, giggle, that's funny.
So basically the livestock has massively helped to restore the earth by literally fertilising and reshaping the soil with there feet. This is amazing
The best way is to make micro levy to stop the water from moving and soak on the spot.
This is excellent visual lesson for rain/land management
Nice content. Keep more content coming.
Thank you

Wonderful!!!
Look into Holistic planned grazing. The inventor of the method has a ted talk.
Beautiful helpful educational description of essential factual information.
I hope this film raises awareness of the need to see rangelands as ecosystems and the fundamental importance of soil moisture balance. What happens to raindrops; do they exacerbate gully and adjacent sheet erosion? Or do they help heal the land with wise grazing management and key restoration works? The problem is primarily social and cultural and the ecosystem problems are a symptom.

Allen Savory method!
Can I uses some of the images of the gully for an educational course
English speakers:
I recently learned about exopolysaccharides from a presentation by Trent Northen, a microbiologist. He talks about the ability of exopolysaccharide to hold soil particles together. One organism that produces said substance in arid lands is: cyanobacterium Microcoleus vaginatus. Has there ever been an attempt to find similar microorganisms native to that region that could be of help to hold soil together?
See how they are doing it in India .Treamendous change .unbelievable working simple-technique .
