In this interview with TheWaterChannel Erik Nissen-Peter explains four different water harvesting techniques in a river bed which should be considered before the actual development: hand dug wells, subsurface dams, weirs and sand dams. Erik Nissen-Petersen tells about the advantages of subsurface dams compared to sand dams.

This technical brief summarises briefly the most important topics on sand dams.
