Benefits and results
The Vallerani System (VS) is a mechanized system that combines traditional water harvesting techniques and the mechanization of micro-basins, for the restoration of large-scale degraded soils, which can be applied for reforestation, pasture improvement, crops, windbreaks, etc.
Ecological
• Maintenance and growth of natural biodiversity
• Creation of an environment protected by windbreak barriers
• Increase in the quantity and quality of biomass up to 30 times
• Forestry: average attendance of 300-600 mature trees per hectare after 5 years from planting.
• Agricultural production: increasing from 2 to 4 times the production obtained in the same area with the traditional method;
• Decreased soil erosion
• Decrease of floodings
• Wind speed reduction
• Increase of precipitation and infiltration of water into the ground
• Only use of rain water by the VS
• CO2 storage
