Regina, a resident of Mutulani reported, “The community is still laying strategies of achieving their longed dream of accessing adequate and safe water for their domestic needs. In particular joint efforts are underway to secure Kyanduu earth dam through constructing a fourth sand dam to prevent silting and increase water quality as well as quantity”.
The photograph captures the 3rd sand dam that was constructed last year to reduce siltation of the Kyanduu earth dam. One side of the dam is higher than the other so when it rains one end fill up with water and the overflow goes through to the other side cleaner (from the filtration barrier when solids get to settle down) before the water flows to the main earth dam.
The community through Mawe is planning for a major campaign through approaching various individuals, organizations and the County government to support in initiating a sustainable water project.
