The reading and the lecture talk about the device used to stop desertification and help the trees to grow easily. The author of the reading feels that this device is useless. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She believes that the box-shaped device can stop desertification.
To begin with, the author argues that using these devices would be an expensive process and need a lot of money. The article mentions that growing many trees using these devices will require millions of dollars. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that the farmers can reuse the devices when the trees grow. Additionally, she says that reusing these devices will save a lot of money.
Secondly, the writer suggests that the local people will not look after the devices. In the article, it is said that the box-shaped devices need frequent maintenance, and local people do not have the motivation to do it. The lecturer refutes this by mentioning that this problem can be solved by possible rewards for the people who take care of the devices. She elaborates on this by bringing up the point that the local people can use these devices for their vegetables and trees.
Finally, the author posits that these devices have limited ability and it is not a convenient way to stop desertification. Moreover, in the article, it is stated that the devices cannot survive in harsh environments. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that the trees and the devices can resist harsh conditions. She notes that the trees can grow long roots which provide the ability to reach water in the deep ground.
