Navy Engineers Search for Water in the Horn of Africa

摘要

Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NAVFAC ESC) personnel are lending their technical expertise to the Joint Forces Command and the U.S. Hy-drogeologic Team as they identify and develop new water sources for drought-stricken residents in the Horn of Africa. The Water Resource Project is a $2.8 million humanitarian effort supervised by the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA). The project supplies aid to Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and other African nations hard hit by famine, natural disasters and a lack of dependable water sources.
