Overview Danot was important locally for its wells, which were used by the nomadic pastoralists with the advent of the dry season. However, the construction of private ''birkas'' (underground concrete water tanks) in adjacent woredas, a development which started in the 1950s and later on dramatically increased after the 1970s, offered a solution to the absence of permanent water, and reduced somewhat the importance of these wells. While this encouraged ''birka'' owners to further diversify traditional animal husbandry beyond camels and small ruminants into water-dependent cattle, this also increased livestock population in an overpopulated region, putting additiona ...
