WAHARA - Water Harvesting for Rainfed Africa
Introduction to the WAHARA project
In the variety of contexts in Africa – from arid to humid – the availability of water has become increasingly important, making an improved capture and usage of water essential. To ensure a continuous water supply for agricultural crops, water harvesting has been carried out in the earliest agricultural practices; however the environment has changed, as well as the number of people depending on it.
This is where the WAHARA project will make a difference: four countries, four pilot projects, one goal: increasing the potential of water harvesting.

From Monday September 17th until Tuesday September 18th, the thrid WAHARA workshop was held. This 2-day workshop was dedicated to evaluating the work done until now, and to discuss the setup of the stakeholder workshops that are going to take place coming half year.The purpose of the planned stakeholder workshops was to involve these people in the study sites in deciding which most prominent problems should be tackled and which approach can be most successfully used for doing this. Involving local stakeholders, encourages necessary cooperation and involvement 'on the ground', which is a key issue for success of the project and future inmplementation of Water Harvesting measures.
