I think there was already two new dams done 1 in nugaal http://puntlandi.com/sawirro-wasiir...o-xireen-laga-wado-togga-bilcil-ee-dangorayo/

And another one in bendar bayla. https://horseedmedia.net/2015/11/15...andar-bayla-oo-lasoo-gabagabeeya-vediosawiro/

That will be 8 new dams once this initiative is finished which is good in my opinion

 

[Yonis]

Nice development

 

[Qarboosh]

Does Mudug get seasonal rivers?

 

[felloff]

Starting to like puntland a little bit every week

 

[DR OSMAN]

These dams will help. The one built in Bendar Bayla has already provided alot of benefits for nomads in terms of financial savings.

[DR OSMAN]

To make matters worse, the price of water has risen dramatically. A family with an average-sized livestock herd now has to pay anywhere from US$200 to $400 per month for water. These costs can be catastrophic for farmers trying to earn a living..

A newly-built water dam may just deliver the badly-needed relief. For Mohamed and his family, it has been a life – and money – saver.

"Ever since we found out about the dam, we’re saving around $400 a month, which I can now put towards the basic needs of my family," he says.
The sand dam is one of the water harvesting structures built by UNDP in partnership with the Global Environment Facility. It aims to reduce the impacts of climate change-induced disasters like droughts and floods.

Before the construction of the dam, people from the Dhudo community had no other option but to buy water from the berkades (traditional cemented water catchments). The placement of the berkades – far from villages – adds an additional challenge to an already costly solution.

The new dam has been strategically placed so that nomadic communities in the region can easily access it. In December 2016, the dam was able to conserve 95,000 m3 of surface water from short spells of rain, which provided enough water for eight months.

The current rainfall, especially when water is managed well, will allow farmers to plant crops and care for their livestock.

That's pretty good 8 months of water just by one dam. If the dams are increased to around 9 dams across all the states most areas in PL will have sufficient water and droughts will be a thing of the past.

 

[felloff]

is it possible for the togdheer river to run all year round from sheikh to eyl using these dams

 

[Abdalla]

The next administration should focus make watermanagement its first priority just like this administration focussed on roads. I am calling for a 'one-issue-cabinet'. Instead of trying to solve the trillion problems Somalia is facing, every cabinet should only focus on one important issue: watermanagement or urbanization should be the focus of the next cabinet. The one that follows should only focus on fishing and meat industry.That way they can leave something tangible behind. Top-down enforced development is easier, faster and more efficient.

 

[Raamsade]

This is good initiative. But they really need start going on solving the power problem. More than security, more than clan nonsense, more than droughts, the single greatest obstacle holding Somalia back is lack of reliable electricity.

 

[Malcolm X]

is it possible for the togdheer river to run all year round from sheikh to eyl using these dams

You need a massive dam for it, even then, I don't think its possible anyway

 

[Abdalla]

https://horseedmedia.net/2017/07/28...usub-ka-dhagax-dhigay-dooxada-dharoor-sawiro/

The construction of the 4th and the biggest dam started today in Meelaadeen, near Dharor valley. Capacity wise it can hold up to 180 million liter of water which can provide water for the nomads and their cattle for 2 years of no rain.

This minister was always hardworking. He used to be a minister of health under faroole and did splendid job. I wonder how much it costs?

 

[YoungFarah]

Mashallah. My only wish for Somalia at the present time is to solve the reoccurring drought issues and the more water we save the more food we can grow. These dams are a huge step in the right direction. Hopefully increased tree planting will begin in these areas with the help of these rivers. Somalia Ha noolaato.

 

[felloff]

wouldn't you just need multiple medium sized sand dams end to end from sheikh to eyl for the river to come back to life, Indians done the same to a dried up river bed the same way

Can it become a full time river like Juba and Shabelle? If so somalia needs as many rivers as possible

2 years worth of water to be provided in this bari dam without any rain

 

[DR OSMAN]

Imagine if he was president of

The next administration should focus make watermanagement its first priority just like this administration focussed on roads. I am calling for a 'one-issue-cabinet'. Instead of trying to solve the trillion problems Somalia is facing, every cabinet should only focus on one important issue: watermanagement or urbanization should be the focus of the next cabinet. The one that follows should only focus on fishing and meat industry.That way they can leave something tangible behind. Top-down enforced development is easier, faster and more efficient.

We got a long way to go before we end the road project. According to Puntland Govt Spokesman, 89 KM worth of roads were completed within Puntland cities excluding inter city highways. That is within 3 years. That's not much work if you ask me. We need to do at least 300 KM worth of paving roads within Puntland cities such as garowe-qardho-galkayo-bosaso-galdogob-badhan-burtinle-beyla-eyl-garacad. This isn't including roads interconnecting cities.

We need to build paved roads into our seaside. We need a Road connecting eyl to garowe, garacad to galkayo, bayla to qardho, las qoray to bosaso as a bare minimum or else the potential of a fishery sector will never be feasible. We have great local labor supply in the fishery sector and therefore we just need to train locals on commercial scale fishing and supply them with the needed equipment and technology. You know how much we could boost our fishermen if they only were taught the best way to fish by the best fishers in the world, by bringing world class talent to Somalia to train our fishery sector. Imagine we provided our fishers with technology on the best areas with high yield fish, Couple that with a coastal road going into a major city of Puntland and you can see the great things possible from this. Even local tourism would boost with Puntlanders going to the beach and creating homes there, businesses, etc.
