Somalia is highly vulnerable to recurrent shocks, with colliding and cumulative effects. For more than three decades, the country has been repeatedly affected by droughts, flash and riverine flooding, cyclones, locusts, disease outbreaks and conflict.

In response to increasing water scarcity caused by severe drought, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Qatar Foundation for Development supported rural farming and pastoral communities in Hiiraan and Galmudug regions by constructing water catchments and troughs for animals and installing water tanks. The water catchments will help the communities tend to their most basic needs and better manage scarce water resources during the ongoing drought.
