Green Artificial Water Basins

Abstract

Drought is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. It manifests in two forms: one in which rainfall is completely absent, and another in which rainfall is scarce and, when it does occur, falls intensely over a short period. This does not give mountains and soil sufficient time to absorb and store water within fractures and underground aquifers. Regardless of the permeability of the soil, rainfall in such cases does not allow adequate time for water storage due to the rapid runoff and the slope gradient of the terrain. Through this study, we aim to propose theoretical solutions that are believed to be practical in addressing such crises.
