Communities in this area depend on agriculture and livestock farming, which is very limited due to the unstable water supply. In 2007 several NGOs implemented 7 sand dams and 10 surface runoff tanks. This combination should provide a reliable source of water for 10 communities in the area. The project will in the future expand to other parts of the country also.

Currently the water source they use is of poor quality without year-round access.By constructing a sand dam and subsurface dam that harvest rainwater, the people will gain year-round access to water of better quality.
