dc.descriptionThe initial sites selected for the assessment were located in Jonglei, Lakes and Eastern Equatoria States. As a result of the on-going conflict in South Sudan, with Jonglei State being one of the most affected states, the assessment could not be conducted there and was shifted to Western Equatoria State (WES). WES was selected because of its biophysical and agroecological distinctness from Eastern Equatoria and Lakes States, thus enabling a better understanding of livestock water harvesting (WH) in the Green Belt livelihoods zones. Conflict over water resources is common in the selected areas, particularly during the dry season when water scarcity often forces people to migrate. The states and counties visited during the assessment included: Cueibet and Rumbek Centre Counties in Lakes State; Yambio County in Western Equatoria; and Kaopeta North and Kapoeta East Counties in Eastern Equatoria State. The locations and WH sites visited are listed in Table 1. The WH sites in WES are not included in the table as the facilities were not for livestock watering but were for fish harvesting purposesen
