Electrification of workers' villages is strongly recommended. Water supplies from a single surface source for the whole development including the oi l palm mil l and from strategically sited groups of tube wells have been costed. An emergency system of suit- ably capped shallow wells is provided near each estate workers' village. CAMDEV has its own source of seed for improved planting material. As there is a dry season of 3 months over most of the Boa Plain, the normal CAMDEV two-stage nursery for the leeward side of Cameroon Mountain is recommended, ie seed set in a germinator at the end.
