I thought the "zai" was the ultimate solution for desertification ( see here at http://theplanetfixer.org/2358/fight-desertification-by-digging-holes-in-the-desert/ ). And here we are: a nearly perfect combo better that just using zai: demi-lunes + moringa + zai. I will certainly include this new twist to the zai system.

Larger-scale retention ponding of rain run-off, supplying water for drip irrigation, might also be feasible. A great full-ciecle way to catch and use run-off water.
