Inta lagu jirey 120 sano oo dambe, Soomaaliya iyo Somaliland waxaa soo maray isbedello waaweyn oo siyaasadeed iyo kuwo dhaqan-dhaqaale. Isbedelka siyaasadaha isticmaalka dhulka iyo hawlaha qorshaynta isticmaalka dhulka ee muddoyinkaas waa badnaayeen, iyadoo dawladahii cusub ay badanaa baddalayeen tallaabooyinkii ay qaadeen xukuumadhii hore. Ha badnaato ama ha yaraato horumar joogtada ah ee dhamman muddoyinka oo idil waxaa ka mid ah dadweyne kordhaya, waxbeerasho ballaaraneysa (dhul beerid), tirada goobaha biyaha oo kordhey, reer magaaloobid, geedo jaris iyo ballaarasho xirmooyin xoolo-daaqeen. Ulajeedada Tilmaameyaasha Qorshaynta Isticmaalka Dhulka ee Somaliland waa in si guud loo fasiro mabaadii'ida iyo habraacyada qorshaynta isticmaalka dhulka, iyo sida loogu dabaqi karo gudaha gaar ahaan Somaliland si heerar kala duwan ah.

Tirsiga macluumaad ilo biyo oo lagu ururiyey SWIMS oo ka yimid la-hawlgalayaal ka fulinaya mashaariic biyood gudaha geyiga duurka mar SWALIM II ay koobnayd. Waxaa kaliya oo la helay xogta 750 ilo biyood muddo sannad ka badan, oo marar badan xogtu waxay dabooshay qayb yar oo kaliya ah oo ka tirsan macluumaadka lagama maarmaanka ah. Sidaas darteed waxaa lagama maarmaan noqoday in SWALIM u dhaqaaqo xagga geyiga duurka, oo ay diiwaangelin ku samayso dhammaan goobaha ilaha biyaha gudaha Soomaaliya. Waxaa sahan lagu bilaabay dalka oo idil, iyadoo lala kaashanayo UNICEF, meelaha biyaha aasaasi ah leh: ceelal-riig, ilo, biyo-xireenno iyo ceelal-gacmeedyo kuwaas oo biyo la cabo leh muddo dheer oo xilli qalalan ah. Waxaa gudaha Soomaaliya ka jira goobo badan oo ilo khayraad biyood ah, kuwaas oo si loo sahmiyo ay qaadan karto bilo badan. Ha ahaatee, ilahaan badankood waa kuwo xilliile ah, oo roobabka ka dib waara dhowr toddobaad oo keliya. Waxaa ka mid ah berkado iyo qaar ceelal-gacmeed ah, oo waxaa la isticmaalaa inta xilli-roobaadka ah oo kaliya. Marka ay martaan bulshooyinka degaanku waxay raadiyaan ilo biyood kale oo u badala. Dhaqaalaha kooban ee loo heli karo sahanka awgeed lama dabooli karo dhammaan ilaha biyaha gudaha dalka ka jira. Waxaa la sahmiyey oo keliya ilaha biyaha istaraatiijiga ah, maadaama ay yihiin isha biyood ee bulshooyinka maxalliga ah marka ilaha xilliile ay martaan (qalalaan). Sahanku wuxuu ka bilawday gudaha qaybta waqooyi ee dalka: Somaliland iyo Puntland, iyadoo qorsheyal la gaarsiinayo Koonfurta/Bartamaha Soomaaliya marka xaalad ammaan ay saamaxdo.

The number of water sources information collected in SWIMS through partners implementing water projects in the field during SWALIM II was limited. Only 750 water sources data was received for a period of more than a year, and in many cases the data covered only a small section of the essential information. As a result it become necessary for SWALIM to move to the field and do an inventory of all water sources points in Somalia. A country wide survey was launched, in collaboration with UNICEF, for the strategic water points: boreholes, springs, dams and shallow wells which last long into the dry season. There are many point water sources in Somalia, which would take many months to survey. Majority of these sources are however seasonal, lasting only a few weeks after the rains. They include berkads and some shallow wells, and are used only during the rainy season. When they dry out the local communities look for alternative sources of water. The limited resources available for the survey could not cover all the water sources in the country. Only the strategic water points were surveyed, as they are the source of water for the local communities when the seasonal sources dry out. The survey started in the Northern part of the country: Somaliland and Puntland, with plans of extending to the South/Central Somalia when security situation allows.
