Piloting a Socio-Culturally Acceptable Model for Water Resource Sustainability and Enhanced Community Livelihoods: Resuscitating Swamps and Converting Dilapidated Surface Dams into Sand Dams (Sub Surface Dykes) in Gwanda Rural District, Zimbabwe
Muyambo Nkosinathi – Gwanda, Zimbabwe
The project focuses on transforming dilapidated surface dams into sand dams (or sub surface dykes), and restoring swamps to enhance underground water storage, reduce water contamination and evaporation, and eliminate safety hazards. Solar-powered systems will extract water from these rehabilitated sites for reticulation to nearby communities and livestock.
