Utilising the Rivers of the North

We need to better utilise the "rivers of the north" that stat stretch from the Gacan Libaax & Sheekh mountains to beyond Daallo & Las Surad... every year millions of litres of water run off into the Gulf of Berbera. We can capture that water, store it and utilise.

This is the Togdheer river in full flow

If this water was captured, stored and utilised, the farming of land outside Burco could be vastly expanded and maintained year-round.

Burco and company are traditionally not farmers , that's why they have not implanted ideas like irrigation etc, no need if you a geel jire etc wouldn't it be easier to just move where the water is

^^ That is where the government should come in with incentives & direct support for farmers, import substitution programmes and information campaigns to change the anti-farming culture. Food security through a modernised and vibrant agricultural industry is the bedrock of a successful economy. How can we expect our people to be economically productive members of society when they don't know wherd their next meal or drink is coming from.

If they manage to contain the rivers when the raining season comes then that'll do them a great benefit, they just let it run away and run dry, useless government.

Maa shaa Allah! The river should be sectioned off to irrigate various farming efforts in the area. Reerkeena reer Burco shoiuld make use of this blessing from ilaahay, geedo miidhan inaynu beerno iyo nakhiil. Togan dheeri maahaa in uu kudhaco badda, khasaaro weeyaan sidaasi, and we have droughts every now & then... smh.
