Abstract:
Water as a resource on the earth surface is very crucial to living organisms without which they cannot survive. Community borehole water projects in Mandera South Sub-County, Kenya plays an essential role as they provide water for domestic use, livestock drinking and for small-scale farming. The whole Sub-County is generally dry with lack of surface water and the few water pans that are available dry up a few months just after the rainy season as a result of high dependency and high rate of evaporation. Due to this condition, various stakeholders such as the government, donors and the local community-based organizations (CBOs) have pulled resources together in an effort to provide safe and clean water to the residents by drilling community borehole water projects.
