Hi, try Moses -0714646014. He did some fish ponds for my friend in Kisaju. The charges were 5K/hr sometime last year so maybe imepanda by now. Cheers


Can i get the same at Kithimani of Yatta area? I was thinking of a similar project.

you can also look into an option of excavating and dumping the soil at the sides of your dam wall.this however will not e able to trap any surface water but will save some costs for excavation.
when doing the damn you also want to make the walls sloping and well compacted. you could also line the walls with a membrane and cover it with cotton soil(to prevent water sippage) . only loss of water you will experience is evaporation. The works are surely going to cost you some cash.
you realise that you have also to consider cost of fencing the dam and for such volumes, you can actually do some bit of fish farming. only chalenge will be to ensure adequate water in the dam.
