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 COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU
