The most amazing thing is that it was discovered in Turkana where they need the water most


Turkana has a lake that never dries, if this has never been harnessed then making use of this resource is like a dream!!!!

Turkana has always had water! That Lake has been evaporating uselessly into the desert for millenia. Massive water and fish resources right there, while the locals starve. All they needed was a little serikali help to set up solar pumps in the vicinity of the lake and boom! Green paradise.There is nothing we will do with that new reservoir if we haven't done anything with the lake itself. We will not use the reservoir (which costs a fortune to access) if the open lake has been lying there for generations.

this comment is embarassing. @mc. consider deleting. next u will be arguing that coastarians shud not complain about water coz they have the indian ocean. this discovery is as big as the oil finds.

Isn't Turkana an alkaline lake?
yes it is thats why the water is un drinkable, but the water underground (over 100KM below surface) is fresh


Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly ...so it's easier to the get the water 100KM below than purify the alkaline water!!!

Wacheni kuropokwa wajameni. Even the deepest level below the ocean surface is not that deep!!!!

Kama mafuta inapatikana 1.2km below the earth surface, kwani hii maji yenyu ni magma?


The water discovered is only 300 m below surface..water is life.
It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.

Not unless the jamaa has some very advanced knowledge on desalination, na huyu jamaa sio mjinga, then we would be the fools, otherwise i agree, aibu kubwa!

Aibu kitu gani?.The ignorant are not ashamed and that is why they say ujinga ungekuwa ugonjwa,watu wengine wangeishi hospitali.Heck,someone says the aquifer is 100KM below ground.That would be a tunnel from Lokitaung to Dallas through the earth core i guess.Never mind what lies beyond the known.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Asi!@MC is opposing the water find ama ni nini? Do we need a toothcomb on this one? hahahaha..There is a time we landed at an airstrip(sio landing ya wazua),i forget the name and the heat in that place is unimaginable. So kama kuna tone ya maji imepatikana huko,hiyo ni habari njema,let's remain positive,opposition sio kusema mlima kenya uko pwani
I am happy

Thought last year scientists said Africa lies atop some huge water deposites..

But people should stop looking for hype/feelgood over breaking news..
Unless that water gushes out and starts meadering all acrossTurkana.. then essentially what we are saying is we cann now dig boreholes. which is what has been neglected for years. just what Mcdoba hass insinuated in previous post..
Has the GoK sent rigs and earth movers as an emergency already?

Maji iko? Halafu?

Halafu we will use it to fulfill the dreams in the manifesto,one such dream is irrigating some (i forget the figure) hectares of land
