Solar Still Brolly ...(part 7f) Vegetation in the Desert 2016
Positive images from this January 2016 upload showing that greenery can be resurrected from the desert. In this case, the area includes Lake Lyre in Australia.
So there's scope to keep the eco-cycle going there by possibly planting trees and edible crops.
If it hadn't rain there, it could possibly be one of the deserts where sea / ocean water could be applied.
