1. LTEC structures
    1. Water quality!!!
    2. Check dams
    3. Sand dams
      1. Stern-2011-Water-Techn.note.pdf
      2. Evaluate main river storage capacity
    4. Re-vegetation
      1. mesquite, vetiver grass, lomboy
        1. agave, opuntia
      2. Feed yard as scarified seed source (mesquite)
        1. add char -> biochar
      3. Wick & reservoir irrigation
        1. up from river or
        2. down from sand dams
  2. Animal fodder - key to viable economics
    1. Agave/mesquite silage
      1. 3 to 4 year stablishment
      2. Famine strategy now?
    2. Other silages
      1. Action research zone
    3. Tree range poultry/rabbits
    4. Cattle/sheep/goats
  3. Biochar & other soil ammendments
    1. Feedstocks
      1. Existing stands Arundo Donax
        1. Off-stream plantations?
      2. Date palm fronds (eliminate fire-hazard)
      3. Cacti skeletons
    2. Composts
      1. Water Hyacinth infestation
    3. Mineral supplementation
  4. Restore ecosystem services
    1. Small water cycle contributor
      1. see also EL Centernario development
    2. Biointegrity
      1. Action research zone
  5. Accomodation
    1. LEF energy systems
      1. Cluster, common facilities
      2. Shared capital costs, low maintenance costs
    2. Construction
      1. Low mass, sunk, wattle & daub
      2. Double roof with venturi air flow
  6. Bioregional nursery
    1. Natives/endemics
    2. Safe exotics of value in bulk (ex. vetiver grass)
    3. Seed collecting and storage
