The government is set to open a new revenue stream by supplying water for commercial oil production in the South Lokichar fields through a new 90-kilometre pipeline from Turkwel Dam.

A field development plan (FDP), which is awaiting ratification by Parliament, shows that the pipeline will also provide water for domestic use and irrigation across Turkana and West Pokot counties.
