A small dam is around 15 meters high and 300 meters long
It was built in Adis Nifas in Ethiopia to meet more targeted needs than the Tekeze Dam
It was built by the local community with support from the Relief Society for Tigray which provided machinery and money
The dam is close to the fields and manages to retain water for most of the year even during the dry season
Each family in the village has been given a 1/4 of a hectare of irrigated land, fruit tree seeds and elephant grass to plant in the earth walls to stop them eroding away
