A socio-culturally acceptable model for sustainable water management and better livelihoods: restoring swamps and converting dilapidated surface dams into sand dams (subsurface dykes) in Gwanda Rural District, Zimbabwe
Project leader: Muyambo Nkosinathi, Gwanda (Zimbabwe)
The project converts dilapidated surface dams into sand dams (subsurface dykes) and restores swamps. This stores more water underground, reduces water pollution and evaporation, and removes dangerous situations.
Solar-powered systems pump the water from these restored sites and distribute it to the surrounding communities and their livestock.
