Following the completion of the two-part evaluation for the European Union into Rainwater Harvesting in Tigray Regional State, it was considered important that the findings and lessons learnt should be widely disseminated. The experiences gained in the Region and highlighted in the EU funded and initiated evaluation need to be discussed and made widely available to all organisations and especially field implementers.
The aim was to pool technical resources and experiences to lay the basis for the preparation of a comprehensive technical Design Manual that sets all the options available and the conditions under which each can be considered appropriate and gives clear guidelines with a full menu and range of options, costs and construction techniques.
They covered the issues that were raised and addressed in the workshop sessions and establish the basis for a technical Design Manual, methodologies for completing this and an action plan for achieving it.
