Yes, but not the kind of engineering mentioned in this article. Recently I went in a bit of a Youtube fueled permaculture/afforestation binge. Reforesting without planting trees by encouraging shrubs to grow by pruning them (which are really trees with too many branches to grow tall): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBP2uRQk5pQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBP2uRQk5pQ Increasing water retention and underground storage by building simple rock dams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2tYI7jUdU0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2tYI7jUdU0 Creating forests quickly with the Miyawaki method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9c_Zlmqcgw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9c_Zlmqcgw The solutions are there and rely on accelerating positive natural processes.
