What if one natural solution could provide...Added:
I mentioned how how many liters of water Sandam um can hold. That is enough year round water for over 1,000 people. Um but we say it's lifelong access because a sand can last upwards of 60 years with next to no maintenance and operational costs once built. So >> the solution is nature- based. It's sustainable.
It's the most cost effective method of rainwater harvesting in drylands and it is community owned. That's uh one aspect of our work that we know like to share is that we support communities on by our local partners.
