,no edit summary
In Kenya, it has been used with good outcome in the Kitui, Machakos and Samburu districts. Other countries with similar dry environments such as the U.S.A, Thailand, Ethiopia and Namibia also have used it in numerous and diverse forms.在肯尼亚，基图伊、马查科斯和桑布鲁地区使用了沙坝，并取得了良好的成效。其它有相似的干燥环境的国家，例如，美国、泰国、埃塞俄比亚和纳米比亚，也以多种多样的形式使用沙坝。
<b>Kitui district, Kenya:肯尼亚的基图伊地区：</b> SASOL Foundation has since 1995 built over 500 dams. They are built using locally available materials and are partially (40%) financed by the local community. The community is also involved in the construction and maintenance. Sand management groups were formed to aid in the construction of dams and to maintain them after. SASOL基金会自1995年起已建造了超过500座水坝。这些水坝是运用当地可供的材料建造的，并且，部分（40%）是由当地社区出资的。社区也参与沙坝的建造和维护。为了在建坝期间提供帮助，并在竣工后进行维护，若干个沙子管理组由此组建。
The dams not only provide a steady source of drinking water, but also have further social and economic benefits. They provide irrigation for cash crops and other commercial rural activities, piped water for industrial activities in nearby villages. Further due to the large number of dams, the water table rises over a large area and therefore stimulates ecological regeneration.
