Turkana County Government has commenced real-time monitoring of water levels in the Lodwar alluvial aquifer system to enable timely decision-making and prevent potential challenges associated with water resource management.
The Directorate of Water Services and Water Resources Authority, in collaboration with the REACH Programme, have installed sensors-known as divers-in Napuu, Nakwamewi, Moi Gardens and Nadapal boreholes.
The selected boreholes all tap into aquifers.
The installation of the divers is part of the final phase of the REACH program-implemented by University of Nairobi's Institute for Climate Change and Adaptation, which has been working "to improve water security for the poor".
