Radical idea to stop dust storms in this outback city has been a success for 50 years

Fifty years ago, an outback mining city in Australia was frequently subjected to severe dust storms that blanketed the sky and forced residents indoors. To combat this environmental hazard, a visiting individual introduced a radical intervention to stabilize the local terrain.

The implementation of this proposed idea successfully transformed Kalgoorlie-Boulder, effectively mitigating the recurring dust storms over the course of half a century.
