The rush by people to draw water in Migori County has risen in the past few weeks with a majority of residents carrying yellow plastic containers in search of this important natural resource.

The trigger is the prolonged dry spell weather condition that is not only affecting Migori County but also several other regions across the country.

The impact has forced people to mobilise all means of transport at their disposal to help fetch and ferry the now highly sought after commodity.

The common means of transport are donkeys, hand pulled or donkey pull carts, bicycles, cars and lorries, besides human transport.
