World Water day (Thwake Dam Visit)
A visit to Thwake Dam was an enlightening excursion for upstream stakeholder organizations. The project is impressive, aiming not only to create a water reservoir but also to generate hydropower, provide water to the community, and support irrigation. This necessitates ensuring the efficient flow of the two main tributaries, Thwake River and Athi River (which includes Nairobi, Ngong, and Mathare Rivers), to ensure adequate downstream water supply. Waste management and river maintenance are crucial to prevent pollution downstream.
Let's continue to preserve our environment for a better quality of life.
