This research is focusing on Mechanized Rain Water Harvesting (Vallerani System) and its impacts on the Syrian rangelands communities in the research areas. The Micro-catchments water-harvesting technology was applied in two demonstration sites in Syrian rangelands (Quarantine and Sheikh Hilal) during fall of 2004, while the results have been achieved during the spring of 2007. This experiment has included the Vallerani system accompanied with planting shrubs, protection and good grazing management for different treatments and compared with other rainwater harvesting techniques.
