Alalehzamin land recovery campaign

The Alalehzamin land recovery campaign was a project of the Benacian Union begun from 1730 AN in earnest, intended to reverse decades of environmental degradation in the region of Alalehzamin, a governorate within the realm of Elluenuueq. Of particular concern was the encroachment of the "cold desert" onto formerly well irrigated agricultural land which had subsequently fallen into disrepair through neglect.

History

In 1729 AN Cosmin Irrigazioni, a company of Vegno, was approached by representatives of the High Presidium of the Benacian Union with a request for proposals for the repair of the antique Neo-Babkhan irrigation network of Alalehzamin, which had fallen into disrepair following the Kalirion Fracture and the Second Elwynnese Civil War. Where once there had been productive farmland there was now increasingly only contaminated soil being subsumed into the expanding cold desert between the two branches of the River Elwynn.
