Deep Soil Rejuvenation

About

Water is a necessity for every living being on Earth, even for the production of crops, on which most of us depend for our direct or indirect food as well as shelter and health needs. However, the extraction of underground water for drinking, agricultural, and industrial usage has depleted its reserved resources and increased natural calamities like drought and wildfires. The progression of drought and wildfires convert the affected landmass into desert regions when the land area cannot meet its sustainable environmental conditions for the growth of plants and trees. The Sahara Desert, with a land area of 920,000,000 ha, is an example of it. Ecological crises are not about using the water but how we put it back into the ground! The exact differences are creating the path for land desertification.

Climate change results from the combined impacts of rising atmospheric CO2 levels and declining groundwater reserves. Fossil fuel combustion is the primary source of CO2 emissions, stemming from industrial activities. In 2022 alone, approximately 37.8 billion tons of atmospheric CO2 were released into the atmosphere. On land, frequent droughts lasting more than 2-4 months, and rapid desertification at a rate of 120,000 km2 annually are becoming increasingly common worldwide. Burning natural forests and prolonged droughts contribute to expanding desert areas globally. To prevent potential ecological crises, we urgently need sustainable measures to stabilize land vegetation and mitigate adverse environmental conditions.
