WRC @ Okhombe and Mweni Sites

Dr Terry Everson, project leader of the Okhombe catchment project, coordinated a site visit on 16 January. The WRC, represented by Dr Andrew Sanewe and Mr Yuven Gounden, attended the event. The WRC coordinated the media component of the event. Journalists from Farmer’s Weekly and 50/50 were present at Okhombe, where members of the Okhombe Monitoring Group (OMG) explained the techniques involved in erosion monitoring as well as water management. The OMG, who offer their services on a voluntary basis, are also involved in training other communities, one being the Mweni community which is adjacent to Okhombe.
