Command Rain Water Harvesting introduced countrywide

Government is introducing what it terms  Command Rain Water Harvesting programme in which it seek to  construct weirs in all 10 provinces aimed at harnessing water from floods and excessive rains. 
Recently Command Agriculture was set in motion but heavily criticized by top government officials including Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo.
Environment, Water and Climate Minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri said while the country laments losses recorded during flooding, the climate change variability has presented an opportunity for a paradigm shift in water resources planning, development and management programmes.
"My ministry has, therefore, introduced the Command Rain Water Harvesting programme through the construction of weirs in all 10 provinces of the country, with specific emphasis in dry areas such as Matabeleland South and North, Masvingo and the south western parts of the country," she said.
"Apart from harnessing water from the floods, one source of water that we critically need to focus on is grey water reuse if we are to mitigate against the effects of climate variability and climate change.
"In urban and rural Zimbabwe, wastewater management receives less attention and yet we can promote the recycling and reuse of grey water from our kitchens and bathrooms and black water from sewer effluent without causing harm to public health and the environment."
She said a huge potential lies in the untapped wastewater resource to improve the country's water security.
