Summary: Khadar Muhumad Khaliz. Earth dams are a large surface-water storage structure, constructed across a drainage channel. A water pan is constructed by excavating the reservoir on a flat sloping landscape. This project is managed by the water committee in Dilla, the community members used to take 4 hrs one way to fetch water, now they take 30 mins to 1 hr. The project benefits 2500 families (2500 X 5 people/ HH).This project is tied up with the food for asset project, in which the community would build water points next to the reservoir for livestock. The water is available for approximately 1000 heads of camel and cattle and domestic use. **Photos provided by WV Hong Kong
