8.0 Water Points<br />
The constituency has a total <strong>of</strong> 365 boreholes and 38 deep wells from which residents draw water.<br />
Of the 365 boreholes, 312 are functional whilst 35 deep wells are also functional from a total <strong>of</strong> 38.<br />
Increasing the number <strong>of</strong> boreholes and deep-wells within the constituency will help to ease<br />
pressure on the existing ones. The presence <strong>of</strong> so many water points is an indication <strong>of</strong> the dry and<br />
arid nature <strong>of</strong> the constituency. Hence crop production is less compared to animal husbandry in this<br />
constituency.<br />
