@ Guka, your services to common wananichi are highly appreciated.
(we will soon send a delegation to request you to humbly serve us as the Governor of Nairobi, in as many of this opinion say Ayeee, the Ayes have it!!!)
A buddy would like to do dam for his coffee farm in southern Tanzania.
Would your guy be able to carry out this, from design to excavation.
Asante

@Mungaits, Linerfix does dam designs but they are not into the actual earthwork.....Have you tried local dam builders?  Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Njung'e On another note. I was looking at doing a borehole for farming. The wazee of the area told me the water is normaly salty. The place is very productive due to the heat and virgin lands. Beans are ready in like two months. I was thinking that a dam/ siranga would help by allowing the water to settle after pumping.... How would this work? I Think Therefore I Am

Have you thought about harnessing storm water? Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

No need to build a silanga to collect bore hole water. The 2 work side by side. A silanga helps you tap storm water, that you can use for a long time after the rains- depending on capacity. Can convert to a fish pond easily too.

Thanks for the responses guys @Njunge , Longman.. There is no big roofed buidling where I can tap the run off. The place is situated in an open area and is a bit lower than the other areas. I am not too sure that rain water can fill a silanga though. The soil is black cotton and does hold alot of water when wet. The rain patterns there are very erratic to very low... you will see rain clouds all around you but where you are. Is it possible to use salt water for farming? How can you treat it?

You would require a roof if the area is very hot thus,high evaporation rate but your case now is complicated by poor rains.Salty water is not suitable for farming and you would have to de-salinate your water before use....unfortunately,this is a very expensive process.

Thaks @ Njung'e I now know what to do with the place. However, I have seen guys in the same area farm with borehole water but some put it in water tanks or Sirangas. I think they have a way of letting the salt settle at the bottom before they nyunyuzia the farms. I well get more practical info. Thanks alot good people. I Think Therefore I Am

This is exactly what I wanted. Time to start preparing for quiet retirement away from draining city . want to get it right on the the water supply. A dam seems the cheaper option. There is a depression passing through the shamba where water from the nearby Road passes through. A small barrier and you have a dam punda amecheka

Probably they are using the water tanks etc as reservoirs/storage. What i can advise is that there are crops that are more resistant to salinity than others, aim for this. Secondly, salinity normally builds up in the soil as you irrigate, therefore, you will get good harvests initially but this will change gradually, however, get expert help from agric experts
