I hope you now understand why the West has raised eyebrows while here in Kenya most are asking … so what!


It's not that the discovery means nothing, the point some of us are raising here is that today Kenya already has excess water available that is easier to tap yet we are doing nothing about it!!!! This can't be compared to the oil that we have never had!......which year has ever passed without complains of floods in kenya......that is fresh water readily available and going to waste (causing destruction).....what about R. Tana in relation to the realitively dry Eastern Province?

Will Kenya deploy high technology to harness this water from the aquifier when nothing is yet to be done on harvesting the readily avaialble water....priority guys!!!!

Nobody has said they are going to exploit the reserve so you are jumping the gun here. What is exciting is the comfort to know that water scarcity is no reason not to invest in Turkana, and Kenya has a fall back plan if climate change turns for the worst.


You are reasonable in your defence, we almost in agreement now....before we get to this water, there is still so much we can do on matters water!!!!


In Kenya water is not the problem, the issue is how to manage water water...we have more water that we actually need.

A country like Saudia has no single river, not even an inch of a river and yet they have more water than they need!

... And Egypt survive on one river only.
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

This aquifer was found 300 metres below the ground using advanced satellite technology and confirmed with drilling. Are the 500 boreholes you are talking about that deep, i doubt it given that the cost would be quite high. I think what we lack in the country is govt's commitment towards supporting such projects. I do not think we would have made any effort towards this discovery without the financial support of Japan and UNESCO. Kazi yetu ni kuchimba tu boreholes randomly without carrying out any scientific research on the expected yield of boreholes.
