Etang Nkwabe, Artificial pond in Moroni, Comoros.
Description
Etang Nkwabe is an artificial freshwater pond located within the urban area of Moroni, surrounded by residential buildings and local neighborhoods. The water body functions as a storage reservoir that supports both domestic and agricultural water needs.
History
The pond was built as part of Moroni's water infrastructure development to provide additional freshwater resources for residents. It was created during the city's urban planning initiatives to address water supply needs.
Culture
The pond's edges serve as a gathering place where residents come to fish and connect with neighbors during evening hours. This fishing tradition remains woven into daily community life.
Practical
Water levels remain relatively stable throughout the year, though the pond becomes more important during dry seasons for local water supply. The site is easily accessible from surrounding residential areas.
Did you know?
Fish species were introduced to the pond and adapted to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that now supports local fishing activities. This adaptation demonstrates how human planning and nature can work together.
