This year, Dornogobi aimag’s Food and Agriculture Department has submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Light Industry to conduct groundwater geophysical exploration at 25 sites across five soums, along with the construction of five engineered wells in the pasturelands of three soums, to be funded by the state budget.

Additionally, with an investment of MNT 110 million from the Local Development Funds of Dalanjargalan, Urgun, and Erdene soums, it is planned to construct and rehabilitate eight wells, both engineered and traditional wells, to improve water supply for pastureland.

In 2025, a total of 13 engineered wells and 10 traditional wells were newly constructed or rehabilitated across the aimag. As a result, 29,500 hectares of pastureland were supplied with water, enabling watering access for 35,300 livestock.

In Dornogobi aimag, 4,226 herder households across 14 soums are raising 1.6 million livestock (equivalent to 3.0 million sheep units) this spring.
