only 50k for each dam, World Bank has observed this project and will be funding 5 more next year.
The dam will be used for irrigating dates palms.

Very nice and encouraging development, we need this in the north also

Gotta love what these NGOs are doing for Somalia.

Taking millions of dollars every year to build a couple dams and wells that cost no more than a few thousand dollars is not doing much.

With the amount money NGOs receive, you could turn most Somali tuulos and villages into green farmland.

Gaalkacyo, Mudug, Galmudug.

hear hear, after all it cost only 50k, look at the quality, NGOs steal 90 cent of each dollar probably

All in all i think somalis should adopt building sand dams, just like we build berkado today

More of these are needed

Not really an NGO project, they wanted to build water pans mostly. Most of the mone came from the environment ministry, and the design from UNDP. Mostly local with some NGO contribution.

Hhhhhhhh ngo bragging

This is a great development mansha allah. I Hope they do this everywhere.

Good start. Hopefully, more of these will occur.

No one in the Somali territory captures whatever little rain we receive. If enough dams were built and water recycled around, the water table will be recharged. The trend has started now as you can see in the below video in PL, and we need big effort in all over Somali territories.



We should also copy this effort this effort that worked in India.

In the long run, we should be doing something like this:

The biggest dam could be on the Togga Nugaal where the valley narrows east of Garowe, or as a series of dams in southern Sool. The Nugaal runs for a long time during the year, Water is always flowing in Eyl for example. It probably has the most water discharge of any seasonal stream in the north.

This is why I am always uncertain about oil being drilled for in the Nugaal valley, there is a risk of water contamination of everything east of the drill site. Terrible luck, the water and oil are in the same basin.
