Somali Peninsular Rivers Project SPRP
(Please don't derail the topic, i will try remain pc, Somali peninsular will be the given name to the area.)
The northern Somali region is blessed with mountains, mountains form rivulets, streams which when joined with other streams,rivulets lead to rivers. Essentially with engineering you could make a river like the shabelle from the togdheere one, Another benefit in this region is the nugaal depression which is in very lowland, if enough water is collected the water could form a lake like the lake volta, garowe and towns leading to eyl could be flooded but, droughts would become a thing of the past. Thats just one example of how using new techniques such as river rejuvenation, and rainwater harvesting plus mass tree planting could help turn these seasonal streams into perennial rivers.
The abundance of water would allow the population to move from environmentally damaging nomadism into a farming society with a better chance for somali region to get it;s first agricultural revolution, doesn't mean we have to stop livestock-raising, no we could do it better by controlling grazing and use of the new abundance of surface water.
Another benefit is electricity production, as we know ethiopia is building a lot of dams on the shabeele which is effecting how much water the river is getting, if the somali population in Ethiopia use rainwater harvesting and river rejuvenation in the fanfen and other seasonal streams that used to lead into the shabeele the water amount entering the shabelle would increase allowing the water to join with the juba later on like it normally does when high water levels allow it do due so, this will also allow for farming opportunities and electrically production in both the Ethiopian somali region and the shabeele and juba region, same goes for the kenyan somali region the which has many seasonal streams/rivers which lead into the juba or the laga dhere river, same benefits as the others.
The somali peninsular best assets is it's people, the river projects could help uplift somalis from all region and be benfitale for all.
Main priority rivers i can see is the togadhere, daroor, Juba , Shabele and the Laga dhere.
In india villagers brought back many dead rivers a good example is the Arvari a 90km river that was perennial but became seasonal then dead due to mans abuse of it and the uncontrolled grazing, the people started creating johads and other rainwater harvesting techniques and after a few rain seasons the river started lasting longer and longer till it staid perennial, the people benefited and started farms and diary farms.
Another step after river restorations could be river linking essentially bringing excess water from other rivers to an lesser river to increase water levels. But that's more expensive and a future dream.
It cost roughly 1.5 million to bring back the 90km arvari to life. Small cost for a big reward.
A plan that could work is for a somali charity or fund, that funds small projects that could lead to this, maybe giving your zakaat money to this project. Somali water fund,maybe someone who knows engineering and rain water harvesting i will link videos below and other similar projects across the world that could help.
I know this project has a slim chance of happening but i'm trying to raise awareness maybe someone in the future might do this, maybe the government might see this idk.
