History
The historic name of the Boh or Bookh region was
Docmo and Dogob boreholes in the 1970s. Another development in the 1970s was the construction of private birkas (underground concrete water tanks). By 1998, there were 65 villages with birkas in Geladin woreda, but the number of birkas in each village varies widely. The building of birkas has also been stimulated with the arrival of refugees fleeing Somalia since 1988. While this allowed the area that was previously grazed mainly in the wet season to now be grazed throughout the dry season, it has also led to a serious decline in the native species of plants most favored for fodder and grazing in this woreda.[2]
