The County Government of Turkana on Tuesday launched newly acquired equipment called the terrameter to enhance hydrogeological surveys.

The equipment, valued at Sh20 million, allows for precise identification of the most viable drilling sites for sustainable water supply.

County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Water Services Patrick Losike Lokaimoe said, "With this new equipment, we are improving our capacity to conduct precise groundwater surveys, ensuring that every borehole drilled is sustainable".

He added the Department was also addressing bottlenecks hindering access to water through the Turkana Urban Water Company.
