Aquifers Found in North Kenya.

An exciting thing appeared in the news yesterday!

A large network of aquifers was discovered in the Turkana region of Northern Kenya. This region is historically incredibly dry, and the population is mostly nomadic, so the news is very good for the region. The project was funded by Japan and facilitated by UNESCO. Officials are hoping that there will be water available within a month!

Judy Wakhungu, Kenya's Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Water and Energy, said "We must now work to further explore these resources responsibly and safeguard them for future generations." It will be interesting to see how the situation develops, and what methods are used to sustain this water supply far into the future.
