Who was that who was saying dust bowl is full of "salty water?" Laughing out loudly

This water is so fresh and clean it can supply 2500 families forever!

Means there is a giant aquifer in the area.

2,500 families?
Let's say that's 5x per (urban) family = 12,500
That's less than 1 month's procreation given the (excessive) fertility in the area.

Don't those 12,500 human beings deserve clean, fresh water. Or are you one of those sadists who believes only he should have water and the rest of Kenya can go to the dogs? smile

Have you considered that the residents there have huge tracts of land,ie those families are likely to be spread over a large area around the water dam?

Good for people of Kajiado. However, water is not a scarce resource in Kenya. Even the driest parts of Kenya have plenty of surface and sub-surface water.

Water scarcity is a fallacy that has been peddled by lazy unaccountable leaders. Take Ukambani for instance. How is ukambani "dry" yet it hosts Tana Athi the biggest river basin in Kenya?

You are right, Kenya has plenty of water,but why does it have to take foreigners to discover water remember the turkana aquifer, remember the the turkana residents having to trek many miles for water after trying to kick out the oil explorers, we can't even do simple pipelines to transport water from where it is plenty to dry areas a good example is Mombasa and mzima, just a pipeline no need to even pump, and Kenyans being allergic to rain harvesting, you build your mansion and skip the water tank, but build a huge septic tank

I concur @kayhara a foreigner has to discover everything. The si called hydrologists in this country didn't know that there's water there? And why does it have to be dammed in that dam specifically and not a new dam ? The amount of rain that Kenya gets is enough to sustain everyone

Well said. The Turukana aquifer was said to have enough water to satisfy the country's needs for many decades! Why not extract it and pipe the water to every home in Kenya? On being allergic to rainwater harvesting; I think most are just clueless about creating a simple harvesting system. Common knowledge is not that common. Some may not even know what the purpose of a gutter is so they do not install them. Others are too tight with money to want pay the extra expense. They would rather spend it on nyama choma and slay queens #Priorities

Water does not need to be discovered. If you drill a few feet where you are right now, you will fund water.
