Project Introduction: Funded by UKIM and implemented by GEESE, this project was implemented in Village Jalwal, Tehsil Jand, District Attock, Punjab, Pakistan. The project aimed to address the critical issue of water scarcity and its detrimental impact on the local community’s livelihood by constructing a mini dam to harness rainwater, recharge groundwater, and provide a sustainable water source for agriculture, livestock, and domestic use. The project was designed to improve the socio-economic conditions of the community through increased agricultural productivity, enhanced food security, and the creation of livelihood opportunities. The construction of the mini dam was completed within a period of 9 months, from March 2024 to December 2024. The project has yielded significant achievements, including the successful construction of the dam with a capacity of 600+ acre-feet, creation of employment opportunities during the construction phase, and setting the stage for improved water availability and livelihood opportunities for the local community. Activities: • Conducted feasibility studies to identify the suitable location for the mini dam. • Acquired the necessary land for dam construction. • Designed and constructed the mini dam, including: - Retaining wall - Spillways to regulate water flow and prevent erosion - Necessary infrastructure • Cleared debris and ensured the dam’s structural integrity. • Prepared the dam for the upcoming monsoon season to capture and store rainwater.
