The small farm reservoir (SFR) is a small water impounding earth dam structure to collect rainfall and runoff, designed for use in a single farm, and typically has an area of about 300-2,000 square meters. The embankment height above ground level is less than 4 meters. It can be easily constructed with a bulldozer or manual labor. Irrigation is done with PVC siphon pipes or pumps. SFR is used in rainfed-growing areas to provide supplemental irrigation to a wet season crop and partial irrigation to a dry season crop. Aside from irrigation and aquaculture, water in the reservoir could also be used for small scale livestock watering, wallowing areas for animals, e.g. ducks and picnic ground.
