Water discovery will mean 'prosperous Kenya future'

The discovery of a large underground water reserve in Kenya could pave the wave the way for a more "prosperous future" for the country, scientists have said.

Professor Judi Wakhungu, of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources in Kenya, said: "The news about these water reserves comes at a time when reliable water supplies are highly needed.

"This newly found wealth of water opens a door to a more prosperous future for the people of Turkana and the nation as a whole."

"We must now work to further explore these resources responsibly and safeguard them for future generations,” she said.
