    Hi James,

    The existing water retention systems work really well and service the community at a village/sub-village level. Project Opportunity 2.1 is looking at water retention ponds that can service the community at a household level. These could be used to support small quantities of fish or used as a domestic water point for farming animals.

    Cheers,
    Anthony
