Project Successes
Name Description
Best Location The site selected for Dam was a rocky land surrounded by
mountains, making a small valley. So just 1 big wall was needed at
front, and a steel grid at enterance to avoid garbage.
Clean Water Due to mountain region, no water purification was needed. We got
clean natural water.
Easy Supply Dam was at height as compared to village, so water supply become
much easier and economical.
