Solar-powered water brings back life to the Turkmenistan desert

            Esenaman once used to be one of the major watering spots for the Garagum livestock; one of Turkmenistan’s most lucrative economic sectors. Now, all that the rusty steel pipes leading into the reservoir of water serve as is a reminder of its past. Climate change and harsh weather conditions dried up the devices used to collect and store water. Shepherds and herders brought their livestock elsewhere to graze, putting pressure on those land areas.

Now a solar-powered pump and renovated containment systems will provide water for the livestock to return.
