A practical guide to sand dam implementation

RAIN and Acacia Water have developed a practical guideline for sand dam implementation. This guideline is based on the Swiss Re 2007 award winning pilot project “Water harvesting to improve livelihoods in southern Ethiopia: from pilots to mainstream” by RAIN's partners ERHA and AFD and on large-scale implementation of sand dams by SASOL in Kenya. This manual can be seen as a "growing document" which will be improved and updated with experiences in implementation of the upcoming years in Ethiopia and Burkina Faso.
