I am back

@icpac_igad Good Afternoon Are you recruiting Hydrologist interns in your Down2Earth project in Nairobi

Been at Lake Chala? A unique caldera lake that straddles the border between Tanzania and Kenya and is thought to be the deepest inland body of water in Africa. This lake is fed by underground springs from Mt. Kilimanjaro #tanzaniaunforgettable #lakechala #caldera #craterlake

Lake Victoria, the world’s second largest fresh water body is shared by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. If "Victoria" is to be erased, which country / language should have the upper hand? How is that to be anything but another lengthy/useless dispute? theeastafrican.co.ke/tea/magazine/p…

@NemaKenya and @WRA undertaking onsite waste water analysis at KIWASCO to ascertain whether the treated effluent being discharged to the river meets the Standards. The ongoing RRI in Nyanza Region is meant to address issues of pollution to water bodies and environment.

Another good example of the #EUWorkingBetterTogether in #Kisumu is the Lake Victoria Water & Sanitation project Dunga Intake Works & Water treatment plant which is expected to significantly improve water quality in the entire Lake Victoria Basin #cleanwater #EUMashinani

Because of the drought in Mukueni county, Kenya people have to walk an average of 8km (Catford to East Dulwich via Forest Hill) to find water. As you travel around, pray for people in Kenya, and around the world, who have to walk vast distances just to obtain basic necessities.

In 42 countries (54% of the countries with data), less than half of the population have basic handwashing facilities with soap and water in their homes wrld.bg/lHKd50yp0rB

#40@20 expected output - 1millionnliters of safe drinking water per day, coverage in 10 counties in Kenya and 3 cities in Tanzania, carbon savings over 9440 tons per year, over 115 direct jobs, over 20 fish farms, over 100acres if land irrigated

● The rainfall that was experienced in the first week of February led to the displacement of 11 families in Baringo. Close to 1000 families in Nyando Constituency in Kisumu County were also displaced by floods caused by increased water levels on Lake Victoria.

Residents of Ruiru in Kiambu county can breath a sigh of relief after Ruiru and Juja water company connected their homes to the area sewerage system. #NTVatOne

@catherinejclark @CAREinKenya @UmmyDubow I would love to hear some of the solutions to improve water access

A real pleasure to spend some time today ⁦@CAREinKenya⁩ with ⁦@UmmyDubow⁩ & Teresia Njoki brainstorming how we can help improve safe water practices in rural #Kenya

@julyvasco @penn_state Congratulations

@eu_echo Great initiative Any project in Kenya

Nearly 2 in 3 people worldwide do not have enough safe water at least one month of the year. Access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation is a human right. That's why the EU funds humanitarian aid projects that help quench the thirst of the most vulnerable people in the world💧
