[quote=Baratang][quote=murchr]I have water at some spot in my shamba. I spoke to someone calling themselves an expert and they said the water is perfect for drinking. Someone mentioned that I might need to visit NEMA for a "permit" to use this water....is this true? Also, any expert here with advice on how i can secure the place to prevent contamination and access(pump) this water some meters upstream for family use? Appreciated. [/quote]
Is the water held on a surface well, shallow well, deep well or borehole?[/quote]

I think surface/shallow well easily accessible quantities go down when in drought.

Neighbor has his own they fetch water using jerrycans

I'd also want to test the water but I dont know where to start without reaching out to the fleecing water organizations. Are there testing kits available?

[quote=Kusadikika]Where in Nairobi are you most assured of never running out of water?

While you are at it please also comment on the area with the most reliable power supply.[/quote]

Utawala is water secure. Though few places have City council/county water. Mostly boreholes with a unit going for between Kshs 100 -130

Borehole water can be very toxic esp where there is no working sewer system. Water in both the boreholes and septic tanks/broker sewers freely mix and the resultant cocktail if filthy.

Didnt you read my post hapo juu?
Water fresh and nywee, then distilled for double measure. Sewerage pipes are old antiquated things from a bygone era my bradza. Thats how you end up with feces in your water. Biodigesters are the most efficient and environmentally friendly waste disposal method. Get with the times mfana wami. [/quote]

You are telling us the only source of water in Kitengela is rain water with underground storage? I had heard something about EPZ getting water from Kilimanjaro. Does this line have connections to peoples houses?

For those with boreholes, what is yield and how far do you have to go to get it? Has the water table changed over the years?[/quote]

You are still talking of contaminated salt water from boreholes, antiquated piping systems and yields when I have given you a very dot com solution?:-d Shauri yako! Keep drinking feces and flouride laden water and crying serikali saindia to bring microbe infested water in bpa pipes from Kilimanjaro!

This here states the average annual rainfall in Kitengela is 592 mm per year. Is this enough for a family of 4 for a year without any other source?

What sort of question is this papa:-d ? Surely, even from primary school basic maths, one is able to compute what storage capacity, roof area and perhaps even install additional catchment to make sure they are water secure year round ama? =p~ If a guy can live in the ARIZONA DESERT and is water secure, jameni what is your excuse?
