SENEGAL 2011. The First Africa Drylands Week

09 June 2011, Linguere - A tractor ploughing degraded land using the Vallerani System, invented by Dr. Venanzio Vallerani. This mechanized water harvesting technology creates a system of micro-basins which collect rainwater, over flow and other resources available like fine soil, organic matter, seeds, etc. which allows for direct seeding of native plants (possibly supplemented by transplantation of nursery species) whose germination and growth is possible thanks to the water collected into the micro-basins
