Water catchment tank - Elafweyn Town

During Autumn and Winter, it can get very dry and cold to the point where some families move away from the area in search of water and greener pasture to save their livestock. The residents I met with informed me that in the last 3 years, the seasons have been very unpredictable and it has not rained as normal, forcing as much as 300 families from the nearing villages such as Beerweeso to leave in search of water!
