While most plots don't have piped water, the water table is accessible at average depths of 120m through boreholes. Many existing farms have successfully drilled productive boreholes yielding sufficient water for irrigation needs.

The red volcanic soils support drought-resistant crops including Katumani maize varieties, green grams, cowpeas, and pigeon peas. With irrigation, farmers successfully grow tomatoes, onions, and other horticultural crops.
