Join us as we explore awesome innovations that can create flowing water in places where they receive less than 10 inches of rainfall a year. These places are considered deserts because they are so dry, which means less biodiversity is able to survive in these arid conditions, without water humans can only survive around 3 days, so for the people who live in these conditions they have had to get creative and you wont believe some of these Incredible Desert Water Technology Innovations that we are going to take a look at in this video, from some ingenious ancient methods that are still being used today to the latest in modern inventions. This is especially important since as we have seen year after year we are depleting our ground water reserves across the world, water harvesting techniques can help us to replenish this valuable resource, otherwise if we keep constantly drawing water from the aquifers without replenishing them, the water table can dry up, causing a water crisis.
This crisis is happening now not just for people living in the remote desert but also for agricultural land and for many cities across the world where droughts and extreme temperatures are causing the climate to become drier. Which has been exacerbated by wide spread deforestation and poor land management practices. As we already know dams and reservoirs are proving to be unsustainable and uncertain, with water level dropping even further year after year, not to mention the ecological damage these structures cause for the watershed down stream.
Since water harvesting is the solution to these problems, we are going to highlight the top 5 water harvesting methods that have been proven to work, so make sure to stick around to the end of the video to see which technique has made the number one spot, and feel free to comment which method is your favorite and smash a like on the video!!!

this is what countries should be investing in imo...dont get me wrong, electric cars are good, but the materials used to make the batteries is off setting the benefit atm, so it should be this, especailly 4 and 2, where a small amount of money could very well change the eco system of a large area and the others probbaly cost almost nothing except a manpower...its the small changes we make in every country which will make the biggest difference in the end...not the bigger countries trying to force the world to change to the way they want it
lots of small changes can make a big difference is so true, thanks for sharing
Countries know what they are doing they don’t care about well being of the average man but instead profiting off exhaustible materials that also pollute the planet whilst profiting off us
How about free public transport instead of cars or very limited amounts of private cars.
Unfortunately electric cars are funded because they can be tracked and shut off, not because governments care about people and the environment!
Now this is sound permaculture and political thinking -why aren’t permacultures just tiny little bit more political in sticking up for a fair and democractically advanced degrowth economy? I think many are caught up in the “save my farm save the world” fantasy. Which is nice but way out of reality. Investment at present is still in making big tech and green capitalism corporations even richer. Which is not only obscene but also useless. Let’s learn to decentralize power to the max and help each other out... I think that’s what this crisis is asking of us !
We have an atmosphere. Water doesn't disappear it just shifts to other parts of the planet.
Unless you bottle it for profit
I think that the fog nets are my favorite.
The Holy Grail of fresh water restoration will be desalinating the ocean but with only a small fraction of the energy used today. Still just a dry hole of a pipe dream, but it will come to varying degrees over time.
I really love the last one in the video. Digging semi-circles in the desert and then filling it later with fertilizer. That's just brilliant, and its not even new. As said in the video, the guy leading it learned it from historical accounts. That doesn't just change the appearance of the desert. It has the capability to change the climate of the area, over time, as it gains critical mass.
What an amazing invention to collect water at places where this is extremely difficult! Great to see🙌🏼🌳🌍
A tree seedling should be planted by each. They do almost exactly the same thing PLUS they actually create water.
@@veramae4098 that’s a really great idea!🙌🏼
Congrats. They've created a dehumidifier.
I remember seeing photos of fog nets in National Geographic in the 1990s.
C’est vieux comme le monde.
¿Qué escribiste? No te entiendo
1& 2 are my favorites. #1 is amazing because it appears to be from the old days. Something that takes hard work, but gets results.
If you watched this, Look at Food Forestry and permaculture. Those will help with the water issue too.
Great techniques, although I'm not so sure about the water machine 'from thin air', that runs on the electricity net. The others are such a blessing to mankind and all life on the planet. Very thankful for all great ways people are contributing to anti-desertification.
YOU can run it by a solar panel and a solar energy system. Also a wind - combo small wind - like a pinwheel.
@@lonniep44yeah, but that’s not it’s main problem. It’s something that will eventually break and needs maintenance.
I'm surprise you missed one of the best Atmospheric water generators in the modern century, and it has been here for half a decade now. It has none of the shortcomings you listed and has been use in many disasters already. It is expensive, but the Creator of it has a non profit to have them built, truly a gift to humanity in deed. You should try and secure an interview, if you do that sort of thing. His name Is Moses West.
Thank You! I am amazed at how they are saying this is a new invention or idea. Mr. West built his version And put it in the community for Free! And someone came and destroyed the machine! Thank you for this!
When we rely on technology to provide clean air, water, soil and food, we will remain dependant for generations. Once we work with nature, many problems can be solved in less than one generation
This isn't new. Condensation water.
The Romans would dig dry wells in areas that might be needed for emergency army marches. Then leave them.
Moisture would collect on the inside stones and trickle down. Eventually the well would fill.
Another use was for Roman forts built on hill tops, but wells couldn't be dug deep enough to hit water. They'd use other sources in peace time, but have several dry wells inside fort slowly collecting water for the day they might be attacked.
So many ancient, successful techniques have been forgotten ...
I'd guess more like repressed not at all forgotten, just hidden away, for the benefit of the greedy who control the majority of the resources of this world :*(
Wilhelm Reich, James De Meo, Bernd Senf, Madjid Abdellaziz, desert-greening also researched and got useful results , used in many countries.
Kind of difficult to narrow it down to a favorite but I do have a least favorite which is number two- the modified air conditioner. This method requires a lot of power.
The others seem to be kind of working with nature.
Fair enough! its true at least they try to run the atmospheric generators on solar panel, they should do that for standard air conditioners
In our area thar is North East Indian we have use to have good monsoon but sometimes we have very little rainfall. So for our areas check dam is the most effective way to check soils erosion and control flood.
Every home and business should install a rain water collection and storage system along with solar panels.
Even in areas where rain is infrequent it is crazy to waste the little rain that does fall and waste it.
We need to stop planting green lawns and switch to local native plantings around homes.
It is crazy to plant lawns and build golf courses in dry desert areas. We waste too much water and electricity.
Depends on the location, some microclimate can profit from more evaporation. Sponge cities are an interesting concept. Cities that act like sponges by having unsealed surfaces that can absorb and evaporated water. It keeps temperatures low and can cache and release water over long time intervals. Berlin tries to become a "sponge City". City heat islands are a huge problem. The city center of Berlin can get up to 8 degree Celsius ore 14 degree Fahrenheit hotter than the suburbs, mainly because of the lack of evaporation and the sealed black surfaces.
grow food not lawns?
Water harvesting is a God-send!
Fog nets could be made of mycelium, (mushroom roots) which are water resistant and when heated to 190 F for a couple of hours maintain their structure without new growth because the heat kills them, but best of all they are bio degradable and cheap and easy to replace.
Good idea.
Are practicing water harvesting? Which technique do you use, where are doing it and has it worked well? Tell us below! we would love to know!
I use any that are site-appropriate. Made check dams with wood and stones, swales, checkdams, and others.
[Addendum] Great video, btw.
My local environment has a reputation for being cool and wet, yet in the last few years the climate is changing and we have had weeks, even up to 3 months without rain. So I started to create ways of capturing or slowing any rain that did occur - without knowing these methods already existed.
Made one little test check dam (so far) across the front of a spring in my garden - and that does work.
I was taking mental notes of the designs of the ones here on this video so I can improve on it.
I also do a smaller version of the bunes for any individual trees and bushes I plant. My garden is on a fairly steep slope, so when I water in a new plant or it rains, the water is soon off down the hill.
When I plant the tree, I use the turf I've removed while digging the planting hole as the wall of the bune. Turf is great because it's already well knitted together with grass and wild flower roots, so it is ready to do a good job of holding water back at the most crucial time in a plant's life.
Civil engineers should take this matter to hart! For the most part, contemporary surface-hydrological landscaping is optimized to get rid of water by making as much of it as possible flow as quickly as possible in as little space as possible away from where rain fell. Such anti-water-harvesting is being done even in arid lands.
Heart, sorry but I'm a cardiologist.

They say the link is broken
Zai pits, demilunes and checkdams are high on my list. Checkdams are first as it repairs gullies, preserves more soil, etc.
Brad Lancaster featured the Clarks' ranch on his website a few months back and said that the check dams would have required a lot less maintenance if they had done more frequent, one-layer-tall checkdams instead of the taller structures the Clarks had done.
Andrew Millison did a great video wurhin the last 2 months on how to rehydrate land. Protecting ridges/hilltops with site-appropriate trees is important as it decreases soil erosion and reduces dessication as well as helps supportive soil biota.
Would be great if you did a video on 'pioneer trees.' Those are trees that are used to regenerate while providing fertility, wind protection, breaking up hardpan, mulch, wildlife habitat, food, etc. Geoff Lawton used them to great effect in Middle Eastern desert sites.

Half moon technique and water filter taking atmospheric air are the best.
Alphabet’s Google is building more data centers across the U.S. to power online searches, web advertising and cloud services. These facilities use billions of gallons of water. In 2019 alone, Google requested, or was granted, more than 2.3 billion gallons of water for data centers in three different states, according to public records posted online and legal filings. Google is building many more centers each year. This is where your water is going.
Go look up all in one water coolers. The water is recycled. It's not just gone in and then left and gone away
Amazing. All hands on deck.
Nestle will be sending all these companies cease and desist orders
greedy fks
😆
When water is measured in liters that we recover, it attests to the fragility of our water resources!
All of them are valid! Along with permaculture techniques, we can restore, even one day terraform planets.
Gracias por mostrarnos desde las costumbres antiguas para capturar agua. Así como los avances mas recientes en este tema. Y lo que es capas de combatir la desertificación un solo hombre en el transcurso de su vida.
I always liked the idea of building these
Fog nets have been used for a very long time. They were used for watering Italian vineyards and were built along cliff tops on the shores of the sea at least three or more centuries ago.
LOVE THIS
I. Saw this 40 years ago on an documentary on North Africa . Damn the suppression of the high tech solutions
Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair.❤ thank you for your video.
atmospheric filtering answers the question "Who'll Stop the Rain?"
The various catchment designs are very good even for the future.
We should all collect our own rainwater, filter it and store it.
U can
@@squirrel9760
well, yes but actually no, they say you can only collect water that falls onto your property and off your roof, but how can they prove it if they haven't seen how the water is collected?
@@_Circus_Clapped_ they can’t. That’s what I’m saying u less a neighbor snitches or something you’ll be alright
Seems like the machine at 4:40 would be more efficient if the condensation tubing was enclosed in a loose fitting thin plastic. This would eliminate the need for filters and give purest water on earth since it was never touched by outside air.
thanks for the tip
Dams and reservoirs are sustainable, the problem is over use. The Dam is not the issue, it is the cities that constantly take more out than is going in.
I was wondering if the fognetting could be replaced with flax strands or burlap, or if those would get too sun damaged too quickly... but then I wonder if soaking them in a conditioning solution like olive oil right after drying them would help, but then do you have to repeat that process again if it does work?
Maybe plastic is best if it lasts almost forever.
Most plastic leaches chemicals into the water, especially if it gets hot. It also disintegrates in the sun by UV radiation.
Redwood trees are designed to harvest water from air. You could do the same with a wind powered trombe
Two major problems facing modern humans are sea-level rise and water-table fall. Simply, we need to move more water back onto the land, but just shifting sea-water moves too much salt: the answer is in these methods that retain more rainfall on the land. Unfortunately, it is yet another example of something where working together provides more benefit to everyone than being selfish - social and joint projects give greatest benefit to all, but are unpopular amongst the ruling rich elites, who do not like doing stuff that helps the poor as well as themselves! Other examples are war, energy, and infectious diseases!
With these and other techniques, I think there are Unlimited ways to Improve the environment. Some of these can be used in conjuncture with each other. I definitely have seen evidence that. Using multiple techniques, back to back, side by side is. Best way. number one reason Redundancy. The other reasons can be put in any order. But another one at the top of my list Compiling returns I know when your talking about returns. Eventually, there's diminishing returns. That being said. Understanding your environment is first, then plan. Then plant life in your environment. Because your plant life, even though it's part of the environment, has its own complications. And must be understood.
Why hasn't anyone used the CONDENSATION method piping UNDERGROUND??? HOT AIR into the cool ground would create condensation without Enviromental decay.
We need to go back to this
A point of concern is that builders will build houses in flood plains and drain and fill wet lands in order to build houses on the land and they destroy beaver dams because they flood basements of houses built. Greed knows no bounds.
In our community we stop a contractor from building 150 condos we proved it was a wet land area.
Fog nets,
Fantastic !!! I discover your YT channel !! Thanks a lot !
Welcome!
We may need thousands if not millions of checkdams in Europe, too. Like in the Alps, the hills of Spain, Italy , France and Germany. Glaciers are disappearing an so is their water storage capacity. Rainfall is less predictable and will come in shorter time, so runoff has to be contained and kept longer so the water table can be replenished.
1. check dams/rock dams (alternative names)
2. atmospheric water
generating machines
3. bioswales
4. fogg nets / fogg harvesting (alternative names)
5. bunes / demi lunes / zai holes (alternative names)
Nice works.
great invention but if everyone use it will there still be cloud and rain? What will happen to tree and grasses?
great story!
I don't really like the fog nets because you can get the same effect by just planting trees and shrubs which have leaves that capture the fog water and drops it in floor and filling up natural water reserves and by the examples on this video you can notice immediately the lack of said plants ....humans solutions to humas problems I guess lol
Plus the biological action of trees and shrubs create even more water.
It depends on the altitude and the radiation level. The high Atacama in Chile and the high Atlas mountains in Morocco, the both locations covered in this video, are above 10000 feet in altitude and experience high levels of solar radiation. No plant can grow in those locations, but people living below can profit from the additional water.
Nice information thanks. KHB Lahore
Excellent and useful
How does Bioswale not cause mosquitos to breed?
You have to remember that the fog catcher creates a " cloud of dryness behind it. No water for the wild.water
"You learn the value of water when the well runs dry" -- Ben Franklin.
Wonder if you could use hemp? To build the nets
How quickly does that break down in a humid environment?
@@eowynsisterdaughter i think its pretty strong actually, and they are making hemp aircrafts
@@eowynsisterdaughter AND have mold...
Great News!
Not long ago the United Nations were complaining about the global water crisis.
I think that some of the items you mention are similar to swales.
A while back a particular location complained that their windmills were producing too much electricity. Perhaps windmills could help power the electronic water condensation device.
They have complained about too much salt in the water around the Sahara. They have already developed ideas for utilizing passive solar for purifying saltwater.
Perhaps some areas would benefit from Mangrove Trees which are believed to be very tolerant of Saltwater.
Thank you for your helpful and informative videos!
My favorite #2
If the geoengineers that have been increasingly manipulating the weather for decades, would use the technology for good, people could enjoy thriving.
these technologies have been available for decades, it is strange they have not been scaled up sooner
I like all techniques. We need to do suspended covers, Africa.
Thank you for this awesome video!
6:52 Why is the house covered up in this clip? That is a still image of that house superimposed (badly) onto where it is in the video.
Where do they sale the Net to collect water. I saw the same kind of video a few times, but, no one ever said anything where they bought the Net. Please leave a comments if you know, i want to buy and try it out. Thank you.
You can make them yourself
@@LeafofLifeWorld With what materials?
@@truthseeker9688 Basically use whatever is available as long as it is not contaminated by harmful chemicals or going to degrade too quickly when left outside. The only actual benefit from buying something ready made is that it saves time.
The company name Wasserstiftung is making a product called cloudfisher, they have another company named Aqualonics, they do not sell the materials, but will come to your location to make a site evaluation, and do the installation at a then determined price. You still interested in the factory made product?
Where can we purchase fog mats
Noting on recharging borewells or wells? India is doing this to a huge advantage and we can all learn from it.
9:48 Yakubo Saradogo is my idol!
He is Risen!!
Water farming. I am having Star Wars flashbacks for some reason. 😅😂😂😂
The fog net is a great idea but bad for plants and animals that rely on the droplets.
the fog nets are being placed where there is a lack of plants, so actually they can help more plants grown
@Leave of Life: The fog droplets travel far and wide for plants, animals, and insects. We can dig wells animals can't. Anyway, this fog net idea is taken from the rainforest. Leaf-collecting droplets turned into streams and then into rivers. If you take the fog droplets you will kill the circle of life.
Há 12 anos apresentei uma maquina de estes.
is not a invención, nature do the same with trees,if the sistem is place in a zic sac need no reinforcement,and the plastic last longer because the relative wind speed is lower.
Nice
i was laughed at for digging dug-out and tiling my fields in spring i can 3 weeks earlier into the fields and can irrigate the fields too with the drainage into the dug-out i have made last 2 years i have had great crops with irrigation
Storm water drains in cities could be made one pipe coming in supplying water.
Another pipe from the storm water drains going back to where the water is stored.
So every time it rains it fills up the dam.yay
can you use it on the mountain region?
Yes 👍
Why is sea water not used? Like seawater salt production.
The water is led into basins, a film is stretched over it on which the evaporating water drips off and is collected.
If you take the moisture from one location, it will effect another location.
Incredible stuff and very interesting. I think it depends on the situation as to which method is most effective. But you don’t see the hype about these ideas as you do about going all electric. I think governments lack the comprehensive ideology needed to deal with these complex problems. They are too narrow minded
🙏❤️👍🇺🇸 water security is important as water will be more expensive than petrol. My 2cents. 🙏
Use available water 💧 in planting tall spreading shadows various trees 🌳 suitable for Soil&climate of the regions on large scale Create catchment areas for clouds ☁️, Will get rainfall from sky. Store under the ground. Use carefully. Aforestation has benefits in many ways
Greenhouses produce power using sterling engines, heating, cooling, distilling, and climate albedo cooling, plus carbon sequestration. You can also grow a tomato.
Permaculture for everyone, everywhere.
I love check dams.
Pray Africa continent of water source is always protected in Jesus Name....
nigga you mean rain?
No. 1 is my favorite because it doesn't have anything unnatural
It’s about time someone used this harvesting by using nets capturing fog going into tanks under ground
Try to increase the underdeveloped water as much you can
❤❤❤
Greed and stupidity cant be solved with tec I am afraid. As long as evil greedy people run the earth there will be no solutions. Good people are saving what they can. God help us all.
Why won’t you use hemp and you can use natural coloring to hold it together. There’s certain kinds of blues that could be messed with the hip, so it will last longer than plastic.
Can anybody suggest air generator from solar panel which can extract water from air Abt 200 litter per day we have humidity 50 parcent plus
This what the Planet to invest in ,No guns and War !
Bonjour, je ne sais pas si ce sont des pousses de maïs, en fin de vidéo, et si oui ça nécessitera beaucoup d'eau ! J'espère que ce sont des légumes non gourmands en eau...
Depends on where you grow it and how. Native peoples who lived in the sonaran desert grew corn, squash and beans together really well in the desert. Growing the three sisters enhances each plants.
A mesh made of copper is best, as it does not produce bacteria, even better to incorporate a carbon mesh or matrix at the collection source to clean any other air-born contamination...

Would verdigris be a problem? Silver coating might be a better bet, but I don't know how to make it affordable.

Yo, water generating machine - straigt from Tatooine
I should have put the beavers first
Beavers are not native to everywhere thats why they are not number 1
