Water retention

These measures primarily aim to improve water retention. They also provide farmers an extra water source in places where the rain is unpredictable, droughts last a long time, and the soil doesn’t hold much moisture. Most of these actions are inspired by projects that have already been implemented in areas that struggle with water shortages, affecting people’s homes and their way of living.
