In an effort to enhance water storage, ensure food security, and strengthen flood control, the National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority (NWHSA) has signed a collaboration framework with Dredge Masters Kenya to desilt dams and dredge flood-prone rivers.
The partnership will focus on the planning, execution, and management of water infrastructure projects, which are aimed at improving water storage, controlling floods, and promoting environmental sustainability.
This collaboration comes in response to emerging challenges and the pressing need for sustainable water reservoir development to expand storage capacity, enhance water and food security, and mitigate the effects of droughts and floods.
Speaking during the meeting in Nairobi, National Water Chairman CPA Symon Kimaru underscored the importance of the partnership, emphasizing that both parties will leverage their expertise and resources in dredging operations, land reclamation, and specialized civil works to enhance flood control and water management efforts.
