The list below are technical measures to increase the resilience of WASH systems.
Surface water: Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR)
- Infiltration ponds
- Contour trenches
- Bunds
- Gully plugs / check-dams
- Leaky dams
- Controlled flooding / irrigation
- Drip irrigation
- Well shafts & boreholes
Surface water: ground catchment & storage
- Natural rock catchment and Open water reservoir
- Natural or artificial ground catchment and Lined sub-surface tanks
- Natural ground catchment and Open water reservoir
- Catchment and storage dams
Surface water: other catchment & storage
Shallow groundwater
- Traditional hand-dug wells
- Riverbed hand-dug wells
- Riverbed infiltration galleries
- Infiltration wells
- Spring water sources
- Groundwater - Sand_dam
- Controlled flooding / Spreading basins
- Subsurface harvesting systems
