Is this the fastest way to regenerate land in the world?

This idea has been fermenting for a while, with the help of talented friends we finally made an animation that clearly shows the basic concept.    A simple approach to water with exciting potential.  

What do you think of this idea? I am open to any feedback.

It's a fascinating idea.  I would love to see a more in-depth how-to type system.

I like the concept.

1. Built a series of swales+ponds on a slope/hill.
2. Have each swale/pond overflow to the next swale below it
3. Pump the water from a lower pond up to swales higher that it
4. Power the pump in a sustainable way. (solar/wind/ram pump/etc)
5. Carefully size the swales frequency+size based on runoff rate/rainfall amount.

I have to agree that earthworks/waterworks is very integral part of regenerating the land.

Trace Oswald,  S Bengi, Yes, I agree with your comments.    

Many adaptations on the basic idea are possible.  It could be harvesting snow melt, or a series of these set ups. Or using fuelless pumps where possible from dams and then using  solar pumps or other renewable methods to pump water.  Done at larger scale there are exciting possibilities for rapid regeneration of land, increased profits and changing local climates by improving the small water cycle.  

Slovak hydrologist Dr Michal Kravcik advocate of the 'new water paradigm,' shared the idea saying 'LOW TECH, LOW ONGOING COST, DECENTRALISED AND DEPENDABLE REGENERATIVE SOLUTION FOR RECOVERY OF THE CLIMATE' . Hopefully the next step is multiple trials in different locations and site contexts with experts.  Then results can be shared for the benefit of everyone. There are many technical aspects that need to be better understood.
