Nairobi’s water supply is under threat as levels at the Ndakaini reservoir drop by 35%. The city’s main water source is experiencing a critical decline, prompting authorities to implement rationing measures. The situation highlights the city’s reliance on a limited number of water sources.
The water rationing will affect parts of Nairobi and surrounding areas including Kiambu, Kajiado, and Machakos counties. Residents are advised to conserve water as supply is expected to remain low for the foreseeable future. The drop in water levels has raised concerns about the sustainability of the city’s water infrastructure.
The Ndakaini reservoir has been a key source for Nairobi’s water supply for years. However, recent drought conditions and increased demand have strained the reservoir’s capacity. Experts warn that without significant intervention, the city may face prolonged water shortages. The current crisis underscores the need for improved water management and alternative sources to ensure long-term security.
