Building a sand dam, a structure for harvesting water from seasonal rivers. The barrier, typically made of concrete, impedes water flow and coarse grains of sand settle behind it, creating an artificial aquifer that fills up during rainy seasons.
Seasonal rivers flow a few times a year here, and with little piped water and few reliable alternatives, many people here depend on them for water. Building sand dams on these seasonal rivers, where people can scoop the sand to fetch the water or use pumps, helps minimize water loss through evaporation and recharges groundwater. This is increasingly important as human-caused climate change is leading to prolonged seasons of drought, let's support local communities in fighting away water scarcity, climate change by building Water projects( Sand Dams Projects to the local communities living in semi arids lands. )
You can stand with us by donating the programs, Building Water Projects or The school garden project ( planting trees program) to the local communities in kenya living in semi arids lands.
