Yaani that's the river feeding ndakaini? Theres no hope kupata maji.





Nolturesh water is pumped some 300Km from Loitoktok and supplies EPZ Athi-River.
Why can't GoK have a water treatment after last 7 folks dam (Kiambere?) and have a water pipeline to Nairobi? We are still relying on infrastructure mzungu left us, Ndakaini.

How comes no one is checking on Sasumua dam the other source for Nairobi Water? If Ndakaini won't fill up i am sure Nairobi boreholes are filling up.


Ndakaini is a Moi era infrastructure project not a mzungu leftover. As explained to me by a water engineer, Ndakaini is what is called a highland dam-it's supposed to get water through out the year from the rivers near the source to avoid pollution. It's not a dam that taps flood waters into a reservoir. The Ndakaini catchment area is like the sponge it gets destroyed then the sponge effect is not there.

I don't think I would want to live in city supplied with water from downstream like Ruai-too much heavy metals pollution.



Yes, hence reason i mentioned alternate supply for Nairobi water downstream Kiambere dam (Tana River not polluted by Nairobi sewage/factories effluent).

A lot of Nairobi vegetables grown on banks of polluted Athi River so next time you bite into that juicy water melon think about it.

Sasa tutajuaje hii chakula inatoka wapi na huwa tunaipata tu kwa meza.. Its chilling though, the thought that we could be consuming hazardous chemicals, metals and other trash

You are already consuming that heavy metal. The only solution is to embrace science

If you have plans to be at the coast there is your warning.

Its raining bad in Tanzania as they are right at the intertropical convergence zone, but the met department there is doing very well in informing the public.

The river never forgets it's route. They grabbed riparian reserves and built ukay and westgate. Infact the parking of those 2 malls is right above the river. Choices have consequences.

Seems like we are going to be dry in a few days. For those who will continue till June...goodluck, but for Nairobians its time to take stock and prepare for November. *****Possible Elnino weather by end of Aug according to NOAA (53% chance)*****

National Tree Planting day is on Sat 12th May 2018 a full 2 months after continuous rains. If the rains cease this May as per @KenyaMetService prediction these trees will dry up. Better planning could have had the tree planting at the beginning of rains.

Hehe. Have just seen that "serikali saidia" woman on TV appealing to ohuru for help. I thought she earned some good cash from safaricom adverts, and was even made an ambassador of some course?




I think it was stage-managed
If I'm right, then this is shameful of Citizen TV!
