Super!
How long have these dams been around? do we have much long-term data?
Hi there, thank you for your query. Sand dams are an ancient technology, which we at Sand Dams Worldwide have been leading on and enabling since 2002. Our impact report here outlines what we have achieved since 2002: www.sanddamsworldwide.org.uk/FAQs/impact-report-2022 And here are some papers/evidence and research to support our sand dam technology and our work: www.sanddamsworldwide.org.uk/Pages/Category/evidence-and-research If you have any other queries, please visit our website or email team@sanddamsworldwide.org.uk
Fantastic!!!❣️❣️❣️
🥰
А мне интересно узнать какова ситуация сегодня ??? ... Не изчезла ли вода ??? ... Не изчезли ли огороди ??? ...
Welcome at my home
great achivement
What happens to downstream people?
Suffering then 😢
You sexists never mentioned how men are involved in all of this, not just women. Everyone benefits and everyone puts in work...stop making it a sex issue.
Do you offer the servive in other kenyan counties like embu county? Am interested
Hi there, thank you for your query, please send more details regarding where you are based and what service/support you are looking for to team@sanddamsworldwide.org.uk and we will get back to you.
Water is greater than gold
If the people used Rocket stove to cook their food, they could reduced their consumption of firewood.
Wonderful people to come and help these people to improve their lives, it would be nice to actually how it is all put together, all I see is lots of digging
全世界が実戦するべき行動ですね‼️
ダムを作る時には、ショベルカーが必要不可欠です‼️
アフリカの乾燥が進んでいる国や地域にダムを作るべきです‼️ ケニアのサンブル国立公園、タンザニアのタランギレ国立公園、ルアハ国立公園、カタビ国立公園、ボツワナのチョベ地区、ナミビアやコンゴ、サハラ砂漠等
この地にショベルカーとトラクターと散水車を導入して植林活動だけでなく、水源を掘り起こして大きな水場と水路を作るべきだと思います‼️
🎉🎉
Awesome! Keep up the good work!
Fantastic work by everyone in providing a water future for the local people. 😊

Can you offer sand dam design for an individual.
Greatest humans
ahahahahah sand dams ahahahhahahahahaa
I'm glad they've got bicycles!
Hmmm....I wonder what the men are doing in these communities.
Why are you excluding men?
Wow, thanks
Thank you God for these people in how you love them bless them and prosper them alwàys give thanks amen.😊
Love love love this concept love watching the people. Someone please turn up ur volume when making videos please.
Barragens Subterrâneas são mais indicadas e mais econômicas.BR
This is very good, but need to tell the locals to not live too near the dams, as they could break, like we've seen in Libya recently.
curiously this phenomenon only exists as CGI and not video evidence? Swales, CT, check dams, gabions, boulder dams, etc? "steel reinforced concrete" as "most cost effective" lol

And to see all the happy people and animals was great.
Fantastic and hearing them shout england was heartwarming.
I'm starting to question my choice to sit here staring at a screen working all day alone in northern Europe when seeing all the villagers building something together, singing and digging, dancing and hurling material and not needing any after work training hahaha! Yes, I get it! It's hard work and all that but it's also a great way to create a community and everybody will take care of the things they build together when they see it collect water for them when they're done. People around my place hardly look up from their mobile phones, are afraid of each other and kids take to vandalism due to alienation.
After watching videos on beavers, too bad there isn't a native African beaver.
Rozumiem że potok/ rzeka niesie dużo mułu i nie ma potrzeby go zatrzymywać, ale te tamy są niewystarczające. Gdy rzeka zejdzie niżej winny być pełne i zatrzymywać całą wodę. *jeśli nie ma potrzeby to spuszczanie wody do morza winno być zakazane.
I love all this stuff. A great way to save part of the world.

This sounds great and I'm really happy for the people who profit from it, but I hope you also build more check dams to refill the groundwater? If you teach people to make swales and how to plant vegetation around them the whole area can transform quickly.
These are quicker solutions to stabilize the population’s water needs. The video clearly states after building the dam, the people will have time to do as you stated. Most of these sand dams are built in tribal areas that don’t have fencing and have large grazing wildlife populations that make it difficult to plant anything. Your ignorance of the terrain and wildlife is expected from someone who obviously has never visited these areas. 🙄
One bridge You’re equally funny showing ignorance assuming simply because they ranch rather than farm means they can’t plant anything. Of course ranchers or even wildlife owners can plant a designed blended seed crop for the area. Probably a good idea if they can slow down water flow to have plants or seeds there to benefit from it. Theres tons of different rangeland equipment you can use depending on what you want to do.
will we get any update on this? I'm very interested how's it going on now
Perhaps you could click on the link to their website.
@@Alan_CFA I was thinking more like a video so everyone can see, not just read about it
Kindly share the procedure of measuring/ setting up a well countour terrace
This is absolutely great, am championing this at my location and behond. Lets also discourage cultuvating along the River banks which is the cause of siltation and kills this progress
نتمنى لكم التوفيق
Awesome work guys
