# Finally, a shallow well will be constructed combined with recharge measures close to the well in a grazing area. Since this is pasture land, two small earth bunds with a flatter surface and gentle slopes will replace the the usual terraces. This will allow grazing of animals to continue, but still provide infiltration of surface runoff close to the spring. The spring will be turned into a shallow well for multiple use, such as for cattle.
====Objectives====
* Revival of springs to provide clean water for people, cattle and agriculture. Documentation of the impacts of the technologies applied will provide success stories and lessons learned for further upscaling.
* Pilot a variety of recharge technologies for this specific environment.
====Activities (2013)====
* Valley 1K2 Rwesegere spring improvement, create 3 semi-permeable check dams upstream.
* 2 places with percolation pits to improve recharge: percolation pits and ponds. Promote pits and trenches for the farmers.
* Establish 2 small rock catchments with 2 ferrocement tanks of 30 cubics.
* 1K4 Kinagamukono spring protection: 2 small earth bunds, replant the grass, animal friendly walls, flatter surface and gentle slopes.
* Rwensigire trading center borehole: increase recharge on the uphill of the borehole, look at the potential for infiltration pits/ponds. Improve agricultural land (with fanya juus). Desilt pump after recharge.
* Kichwaba Spring improvement: construct storage tanks to tap water from the spring and supply to neighbouring communities.
* Capacity building in 3Rs for the community and district local government officials.
