Zimbabwe: Boreholes Sunk

29 August 2012

Chinhoyi Bureau — Stakeholders in wildlife industry have sunk boreholes and put up watering holes in the Hwange National Park to avert a repeat of last year's deaths of animals owing to a water shortage. Scores of elephants died due to a heat wave that saw watering holes drying up. Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Authority public relations manager Ms Caroline Washaya-Moyo said in an interview that the authority was assisted to sink boreholes in the national park.

"We have put in place every measure and taken contingency steps to ensure that there is adequate water supply in the hot season. As an authority, we now await the onset of the hot summer season," she said.
