Wow very nice Yury, Is this a farm in your area ? Did you help with the design or work with the crew?  It looks like there are several farms doing the same work.

Looks like a really great project! I would be very interested in seeing some updates on it over the next few years!

This looks great !  Extremely promising !

If you could plant lots and lots of trees just as fast as you built the ponds, you would have all the elements for a paradise spot !

I note the waterlogging in the rectangular areas surrounded by berms.  I guess that the berms themselves contributed to the trapped water, in your flat landscape.  You could turn that into an intentional wetland...

Wonderful world of Zdravoye (the most accurate English translation: Healthy or Sane) - relatively new but fast developing ecovillage of Kin's domains in the South of Russia, founded mostly by entrepreneurs, please enjoy this 3 min. video:

Imagine This…
You’re building your dream home. But instead of drowning in debt, you’re using dirt—yes, dirt—from under your feet, a DIY 3D printer that squirts malleable stone, and a roof so strong it laughs at snowstorms (thanks to catenary geometry, aka "the secret sauce of arches"). Oh, and your house heats and cools itself while recycling your shower water to grow tomatoes.

Sound like a fantasy? Nope. Just another day to Build the Future: https://ecominded.net/build-the-future3

Earthships teach us that the best technology is the one nature already perfected.
