More Timbaktu Photos


This is a really striking sight in the area. Since the time I have been going there, I have never seen any standing or flowing water. Seeing this much amount of water at one go was somewhat disorienting :-). The interesting thing is that this water was there only because of a 'check dam' (see below), that was constructed by Timbaktu only this year. This is a very striking demonstration of the value of small local water harvesting and storage structures.
