 * Dry Land**
 * Swale, Circular plantation, Compost hole, Living fence
 * Water collector, Shade house, Seedling garden, Termite mounds, Salt & irrigation,
 * Salt & irrigation, Salt catchment trees, Funnels (micro-swales), Pits,
 * __dew traps__ of stone, scattered shrubs or vertical metal screens (h=1m, moisture condensers in Moroccan forests)
 * __earth techniques__: pitting and swales, runoff and catchment technology: stone gutters, caves and holes use for shadow and water storage, earth and stones walls, shrub barriers, fast streams diversion to dams or limonia
 * watering jar
 * Nabatean system, qanat and foggaras

> ===Planting===
 * __corridors__ of hardy plants,
 * __pioneering__ deep rooted grasses and trees: //ammophyla//
 * __pelleting__ seed+mud+fertiliser+insect repellent (neutralized copper sulphate with lime, neem tree lead powder, magnesite) //fukuoka method//


 * trees: Acacias (//Acacia victoriae// (tunisians Mimosa, leaf mulch), eucalyptus, pines, Casuarinas, tamarisk (quickset), cottonwoods (usa), redgums (au)
 * fruit trees: figs
 * cereals: oat, sorghum, millet
 * vegetables and crops: melon, bean, vam bean and moth bean, vam vines, sunflowers


 * __dunes blowouts__: quickset grasses like Ammophila, pelleted moth bean seed, //Acacia victoriae, Acacia sophorae, Mesquite// cardboard collar or woven basket, brush fences (2m stakes in 1m deep in 7m² and bushy weaves), (China: rice-straw mat stabiliser + advanced trees in baskets), mulch in hollows: bark, sawdust, mill wastes
 * __claypans__: canegrass (//Eragrostis australasica//)
 * __limonia__: citrus, olivers, palms, reed (roselière) filter to dam
 * __shallow swales__: sunflower, millet, forbs, (opportunistic crops)
 * __swallows__: lotus and water-lily
 * __sewage lagoon walls__: trees (bird carried)

> ===Soil improuvement===
 * humus
 * compost: manures of seed eating birds and animals, shredded bark, leaf nutrients, (permenent humus pit with watering jar)
 * salty soil: treatement with fresh water and humus, algae and water crop, and salt tolerent crop
 * phosphates, zinc, copper and ferromagnesium minerals
 * sulphur, if pH is high
 * dunes tank: phosphate, ammonia or guano and zinc, urgent stabilisation: spraying tar oils, layind pebble beds, brush fences h=1m every 7m across the wind direction, with wind gaps 50% and plantings
 * India arid region
