Aquifer could meet Kenya's water needs for 70 years
A reserve that holds enough water to meet all of Kenya's needs for 70 years has been discovered, ITV News can reveal.
The Lotikipi Basin Aquifer was one of five pools found in the north west of Kenya but is by far the largest.
It is also a reusable source - meaning it could help solve the country's water woes for many decades to come.
UNESCO and the Kenyan government - funded by Japan - have been using satellite, radar and geological technology in a bid to find new supplies of water.
