Hey all,

I am thinking of digging/doing a dam that can hold about 1 Million litres of water i.e 20M by 10M by 5M. Sometime back, a guy told me that the government had tractors for this purpose that could be hired. Does anyone have information on this? Where else can I get this done?

Visit the Ministry of Works workshop in industrial area, Machakos road, off Dunga Road..They hire out heavy equipment such as earth movers, tippers, graders etc but I think it depends where your land is. But where is your water source?

@All,

Thanks for the responses. I think haka ka-tractor Njunge ameweka hapa will do. I want to store rainwater in the dam for use during the dry weather. In Maasai land, we call it a 'siranga'. The Maasai use it for storing water to feed their livestock during the dry spell. Sasa mimi nataka kutumia kupanda maharagwe, na mboga
@ Njunge what is the estimated cost per hour and how long would it take to complete?

@ bwenyenye, get the science of building the pit right. 5m is very deep. We don't want the reservoir walls to collapse during excavation or when filling up, do we?

Thanks guys.
@ Njunge .. hands on as always
@majimaji you know some of us studied at school while others read! yenyewe 5m is abit too deep.

@smallfama .. will call the guy. How long did the guy take?

Anyone else with a contact around Kajiado, Isinya?
Cheers guys!
