Rainwater harvesting to improve livelihoods in Ethiopia
The Ethiopian Rainwater Harvesting Association (ERHA) aimed to promote rainwater harvesting among at least 10 communities (approximately 2 000 people) in southern Ethiopia. Project goals included building sand dams and storage tanks to ensure access to safe drinking water and water for productive use in the short- and long-term for communities living in the catchment area of an ephemeral watershed.
