What are we doing

After studying multiple factors, our on-ground team strategically proposes a check dam structure and works with villagers to build that check dam on the site. We have already started working on multiple check dams. Below are some real ‘on-site’ pictures.

What is check dam

A check dam is a small, sometimes temporary, dam constructed across a swale, drainage ditch, or waterway to counteract erosion by reducing water flow velocity. Check dams themselves are not a type of new technology; rather, they are an ancient technique dating from the second century AD. Check dams are typically, though not always, implemented in a system of several dams situated at regular intervals across the area of interest.
