Ganale Doria information


The dam is located exactly at the end of the Shebelle river, blocking the loss of water in the dunes by sun evaporation during summer

Ganale Doria is a dam located near Genale on the river Shabelle. It was built in the south of Somalia in the 1920s along with an extensive network of canals.[1] The dam (called originally Dam of Genale Doria) was strongly promoted by Cesare Maria De Vecchi - Italian governor of Italian Somalia from 1924 to 1928 - in order to provide water for irrigation of a vast territory between Genale, Merca and Vittorio di Africa, to be given in concession to colonists.
