Improvement of Kwemakame Spring Water scheme by water harvesting and recharge
A pilot was realised where rain water (runoff water) was collected high in the mountains in the upper (Dindira) catchment of the spring water source. This runoff water is infiltrated (artificially recharged) in the underground, replenishing the groundwater storage that is feeding the spring. This concept of Retention, Recharge and Re-use (3R) of rain water to boost the spring yield proved to be feasible and effective. The dry season yield of the Water Scheme doubled.
