Through the intervention and technical assistance of an NGO called SASOL (Sahelian Solutions) many communities of men and women of Kitui began the construction of sand dams as far back as 1990. Presently they have completed 158 sand dams in the last five years alone. Previously when there was no water, people had to walk miles in search of this rare commodity. Now, because of the availability of water, both their health and economic situations have vastly improved. There are increased economic activities like bee-keeping, vegetable growing and making of bricks. Communities are now growing nappier grass for livestock, planting tree nurseries but most of all, water for domestic use is readily available all year round. This video introduces the construction technique of a sand dam which is fairly easy and effective. The technology can be adopted to benefit other communities living in arid and semi arid areas of Kenya and beyond."--Container. 655 7 $a Documentary films. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2011026205 650 0 $a Dams $x Design and construction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85035583 650 0 $a Water-supply, Rural $z Kenya. 610 20 $a SASOL Foundation. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2006201348 700 1 $a Kivuva, Martin, $e writing. $e production, $e writing. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2006200239 700 1 $a Quinn, Richard J., $d 1926- $e production. $e production. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2005202156 700 1 $a Okungu, Jennifer. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2011212842 700 1 $a Oyier, Paul. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2006201336 710 2 $a Ukweli Video Productions. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2006200228 710 2 $a SASOL Foundation. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2006201348 941 $a 1 945 $a dvv 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180201011831.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC619492071D11E88A431B0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
