Kamurugu Community Dam On Seasonal Stream
This project is implemented in co-operation with the Embassy of Japan. The Embassy is funding the hardware of the project (e.g. pipelines, buildings etc.) while UNDP GEF SGP is funding the software of the project (e.g. capacity building).
The aim of the project is to store water from a seasonal stream in a surface dam for domestic use., especially during the dry seasons.
The project is located at Kamurugu, Mavuria Location of Mbeere District. Rainfall averages from 500 to 700 mm per annum and is highly unreliable with frequent droughts that result in famine with acute food shortages.
The implementing NGO will:
(1) Construct a dam at the seasonal river
(2) Construct a fence around the dam
(3) Plant 1000 seedlings to conserve the environment around the dam
(4) Construct two cattle troughs
(5) Train the community in water and sanitation
