Huge water reserve discovered in Kenya
A massive aquifer that holds enough water to meet all of Kenya's needs for 70 years has been discovered, ITV News can reveal. The pool, which was found more than 300 metres underground, is so large you could pour Loch Ness into it approximately 25 times. — What is an aquifer?
● It is an underground layer of water-bearing material, such as gravel, sand and silt.
● Water can be extracted from the materials by using a well.
The newly discovered Lotikipi Basin Aquifer could provide water to Kenya for 70 years. But just as importantly the aquifer is replenished from distant mountains. So it should never run dry, assuming it is managed properly.
