Livestock water productivity is a critical aspect of contributing to the urban and per-urban food market, yet water for animal production comes as after-thoughts in the development planning in some countries. The Savannah areas are the best livestock production areas, yet naturally suffer water stress due partly to high evaporative demand. Considering the competing needs for water in the dryland areas (domestic, crop, livestock), the tendency is to put livestock water at the bottom of the list. Meat and other animal products as milk, contribute largely to the household nutrition. This could only function well if there is the deliberate provision of water for animal production.
