Why checkdams?

For such simple structures, the advantages of checkdams are many. Of all the available technologies and methods used for water harvesting, checkdams provide the most benefits in terms of overall livelihood generation and sustainability, while reducing many of the negative impacts larger projects such as dams and reservoirs can have on the social and natural environment. Due to this, checkdams are what we at DA call an Appropriate Technology.

Appropriate technologies are ones where a balance has been struck between social, economical, ecological and technical factors.
