AECF Consultancy to Design and Implement the Construction for a Dam for Rainwater Harvesting for Irrigation Jobs in Tanzania
Purpose and Deliverables of the AssignmentTamu Tamu is looking to solve the issues they have been having with unsustainable and expensive water sources for their farm operations and irrigation needs.
With their plans to upgrade into more processing activities, and scale farmer reach with quality and timely seedlings, this will require a more sustainable supply of water.
Based on a recent water survey conducted on the farm, their current borehole can’t produce enough water for future irrigation needs of the farm.
Creating a dam is a more sustainable option, as it will allow retention of rainwater (which otherwise washes away), leading into slow percolation of water into the ground, combating erosion and encouraging regeneration of the surrounding environment and biodiversity.
The Tamu Tamu team will need an expert to design the dam, guide construction, train the team in maintenance of the dam, how to control the water level in the event the water in the dam exceeds its capacity, and how to use the system.
