Traditional Terracing
Fog Harvesting
Soil Retention
Cistern Management
Stone walls built along steep volcanic slopes slow runoff, allowing vital moisture to penetrate parched soil.
High-altitude mesh nets capture persistent mountain mists, channeling clean water down to vulnerable agricultural plots.
Cover cropping and organic mulching shield earth from wind erosion, locking in rare dry-season hydration.
Community-maintained stone cisterns store sudden seasonal downpours for reliable dry-spell irrigation.
Cloud water collection in Serra Malagueta
Community Nursery Support
Harvested moisture feeds endemic reforestation saplings before they are planted across eroded slopes.
High Ridge Catchment Initiative
An inspiring community-led effort establishing mesh fog collectors along the mist-shrouded peaks of Santiago, directly supplying valley nurseries with pure mountain water.
