Dear Alpha and Sylvia, thanks for this inspiring project. More and more I believe the Future is what we chose to make it to be, and sharing these projects can help to inspire other communities to do similar things. Please read Radio4pasa.com/bring-back-the-rains to get a feel what we are trying to do in Southern Africa.

Very hopeful. I can see the inspiration potential in many of the world's drylands for similar initiatives.

Jacqueline Fletcher shared it on her FB page. It seems to push against everything you write about and have studied. In my own very limited experience, I also found it contradictory to my small food forest growing experience (needing no water at year 5 through a 4 month El Niño dry). It makes me wonder who pushes these papers out.
