Taking into consideration that global warming will increase water scarcity in arid and semiarid regions the construction of dams and reservoirs will become an important adaptation strategy.

A dam is a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level, forming a reservoir used to generate electricity or as a water supply.<ref>Oxford Dictionaries, 2007</ref>

 In rural areas with dry seasons and where poverty predominates, small earth dams can be appropriate measures to store water and support irrigated agriculture and gardening. However, the reservoirs are also a risk for the health of the users due to pollution by animals and humans.
