These holes are oriented against the slope of the ground, [3] generating a small dike in the curved area with the soil from the hole itself, so they capture the rainwater running downhills.
Greening the Desert II site, Dead Sea Valley Jordan (photographed 2018) is an oasification project. In hydrology, oasification is the antonym to desertification by soil erosion. This technique has limited application and is normally considered for much smaller areas than those threatened by desertification. [citation needed]

Plant rooting and growing in the Groasis Waterboxx. The Groasis Waterboxx is a device designed to help in growing trees in dry areas. It was invented and developed by Dutch former flower exporter Pieter Hoff, [1] and won the Popular Science Green Tech Best of What’s New Innovation of the year award for 2010.
It was created for desert greening of hot, arid deserts and optimized for fresh water production from saline, or brackish water. The Integrated Biotectural System is based on a wetland, more specifically a mangrove eco-system designed for food and fodder production of 80tons per hectare and year, also called mariculture .
