Water:
Because of the limited precipitation, production of cultivated crops is marginal. Most of the soils are moist or wet early in spring and are deficient in moisture during much of the growing season. Water for livestock comes mainly from runoff that flows into dams. Few places have shallow-water wells for domestic use.
