Description
Mazvihwa is one of the most arid areas in South Central Zimbabwe. The area has all typical characters of a marginalized community. The area receives very scanty and unpredictable rainfall averaging 400m3 annually. Dam enlarging will increase the water holding capacity of dams; extend the duration in which people and livestock can access water.
