Irrigation
[edit]There are in Baluahi about 1 big and deep ponds which stores rain water and is used for irrigation and waste drainage and also a main thing sone canal is near by baluahi. The higher elevation of Baluahi than the surrounding towns is a concern since more people and the needs for irrigating fields calls for an increased demand on ground water. At one time a hand pump was all that was necessary to bring up ground water. Increasing the depth of ground water wells has not fulfilled all the increasing water use demands.
