    Use pigs to seal the dam. Fence them in and feed and water them there. Their feet will "puddle" the soil bringing waterproofing. What is also done traditionally is Gleying. Put down lots and lots of cabbage leaves just before the rains or even when there is a little water in. This rots down and forms a "glei". The best is pigs though. They will do the job for you and you can later sell off the pork. Hello from South Africa 😊 Lovely channel. New subscriber. Hope this is helpful to you.

      Thanks for the advice! We would never have thought that pigs would be used to help waterproof a dam. Just another benefit of including pigs within a farm!

    Great video! I am following from Namanga in Kenya. Just dug my first test dam in the path of water flow in my property. Waiting to see how it behaves before I decide to line it or not.

    You can also start trenching your land in rows and stack wood about 0.5m from the surface. The wood stack can occupy the soil profile between 0.5m and 0.8.
    If you would like to test a row. Once stacked, set it on fire. Put the fire out after the stack collapses to between 0.65m and 0.8m. Fill your trench to the soil surface.
    Its huge job, but you can do it row by row.

    A no cost way to seal the water dams would be to puddle the clay as they did building the canals across 18th century Europe. I believe you just covered the clay with a little water and trod the clay with your feet to make a sealed surface that held water.
