Renaturation of the planet takes place
in these steps:
1. REFORESTATION OF DESERT+BARREN STEPPES
2. WIDEN THE RIVER BEDS+RE-ESTABLISH THE MEANDERS
3. RESTORE THE FLOODPLAIN LANDSCAPES
4. INSTALL LARGE PONDS AND ROWS OF PONDS
4. INSTALLATION OF LARGE PONDS AND ROWS OF
PONDS - water storage+aquatic animals - as it was before
-- In this way, another important water buffer is
installed against floods, groundwater level is rising, and
flora and fauna of the ponds can develop anew here with
“nurseries”.
-- With newly excavated ponds or rows of ponds, water
reserves are created for times of drought in summer
-- The ponds can also be managed with fish farming or
crayfish farming as required, shallow ponds can be used as
“nurseries” and for crayfish, deep and large ponds can be
used for breeding large fish
-- At narrow locations of valleys can also be installed
shallow lakes with dams made of clay earth - the
groundwater level is then automatically raised and all the
flora and fauna around a lake returns - first the birds,
then the shrubs, then the game, and people also like to go
swimming or fishing in the small lakes.

-- Installing rows of ponds provokes the rising of the
groundwater level and then flora and fauna of the pond
world will come back, fish farming and crayfish farming
are also possible, etc.

Sepp Holzer's pond systems at his farm "Krameterhof" in
Austria [2]
-- with a small, shallow lake (3 to a maximum of 20 meters
deep) - provoked with a big barrier of clay earth - the
groundwater level rises in the whole region, flora and
fauna comes back - and also swimming fun comes back, or
people go fishing etc.

Sepp Holzer's artificial lake in Tamera, Portugal,
installed with a large barrier of clay earth [3]
-- with these "water buffers" with chains of ponds and
small lakes one can reduce the number of reservoirs as
water reserves.
