Water Project pt 3

Ebenezer dam. Water level down by half a meter

The water levels in Kezi have dropped drastically as we didn't have a good rainy season. I had previously written in the Water Project pt 1, that folk living near the Maleme river which feeds water to the Ebenezer dam, are more blessed as the Maleme hasn't dried up yet. Well, the water levels in the Maleme river has gone down considerably and one section of the river is looking pretty muddy as cattle go down for a drink. Gauging from the Ebenezer dam wall, the water level has dropped by approximately half a meter. This is alot of water, taking into consideration the daily evaporation.

Crossroads will be doing the Water project in 2 phases:

Trench being dug - heading to Crossroads Church

Phase 1: Digging trenches from the Crossroads site to Crossroads church, putting in the pipes, tanks etc.
Phase 2: Digging trenches from the Crossroads site to the Ebenezer dam, building a pump house etc, etc


Phase 1 is underway. Within the next two weeks, we should be putting down the pipes. Exciting times ahead for us and for the community.......
