Dass der touristische Sektor in AfD-Hochburgen klagt, dass keine Tourist*Innen mehr kommen, zeigt leider auch dass sie nichts verstanden haben.

Die Touris bleiben nicht nur aus, weil sie sich ein bisschen unwohl fühlen. #Queere, migrantische oder #linke Menschen müssen sich um ihre #Sicherheit sorgen.

Wenn ein Ort möchte, dass wieder Touris kommen, hilft "Bitte gebt uns eine Chance" nicht. Es muss "Bei uns seid ihr sicher, egal wer ihr seid. Versprochen." heißen!

Countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles.

The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.

@appassionato A similar kind of project in Madagascar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ef6QIuYDgw I liked how they spent a bunch of the video explaining that it's not just about digging and moving on - the key to their work is identifying why the area was deforested in the first place (eg trees chopped down for firewood), and working with the local community to regrow sustainable livelihoods alongside regrowing the forest.

@appassionato The only difference I spot is that the Sahel is not part of it any more, just Kenya, Tanzania and Senegal. The half moon technique I have already seen in various films on the Great Green Wall.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not making any critique of the new project, just trying to understand its relation to the one I already knew about. The absence of Sahel in particular is regrettable but quite understandable:

@ducasleo I also thought it was part of it. The half moon digging being the method used for the Great Green Wall Project and everybody kinda joining into this one big effort with smaller task forces.

We've tried this technique in Brandenburg, Germany at #ArschDerHeide on our very poor dry sandy soils. Even there you can see its impact. It is not just the water soaking in. It is also the small wind break and shade that helps young plants to sprout & establish in the semi circles.

@appassionato @FrancoisPrague I am not convinced extracting water that took hundreds of thousands of years to accumulate, and use up in a few decades is a sustainable or fair to future generations. Maybe if it could be managed as a commons in a wise way, planting trees and maybe some climate specific agriculture.

@dacig I think the same. Groundwater is one of the most important treasures for our future - and we see a lot of new desertification where people take too much of it, in countries that never had deserts.

@alsternerd @appassionato I've seen evidence of a related technique in Minnesota, probably made hundreds of years ago by the Dakota people, where you build small earthen berms across the crease of hills, where the water tends to collect and run, catching silt and retaining water, making the hilly grassland more fertile

Show threadRealGene ☣️Jun 1

@jor @appassionato
Because the intent is to slow the runoff so that it soaks into the soil, and when saturated, the water continues across the land to the next semicircle.

You don't want to create ponds of standing water; plants don't grow in it, but mosquitoes do.

@RealGene Thank you. 🙂
Show threadSave Elderly Housing! Patty 👀Jun 1

@jor @appassionato

The half moons face a slope - are on the downhill side of a slope - to capture the runoff from that slope, maximizing the amount of rainfall captured. A round pit would likely only capture whatever rain fell directly from the sky, losing the water gathering benefit of slope. The earth excavated forms the water-retaining berm.
These half moon pits vary in size and depth, and scalable to human effort.

Show threadZephyr Leif RennerJun 1
@jor @appassionato I don’t believe the shape actually matters much. E.g. could be a V. the shape opens to the flow of water presenting a shallow slope down to a beamed catchment area. Seeds and plants do not end up covered in a deep layer of sediment like might happen with a deep hole. In a hotter, drier environment a hole would be the better choice for shade, wind protection and water retention, although, it would be necessary to better control water delivery and sedimentation.

@appassionato @jor In dryland farming there are people who build rectilinear grids of raised earthen walls with an excavated hole below, and they hand deliver water. Farmers who work sloped land have discovered that furrows that follow the curves of the hills work better because then the water does not just run away. All variations on the same concept: deliver the right amount of water to the plants.
