Water tanks

For quite a long time water has been the biggest challenge in Kibera slums.  People have had to walk for long trips to get water for their use.  the Nairobi Agricultural Show has made it worse as most of the water is directed to the show ground.

EAWAG has however made great investments in the water sector in Kibera.  By providing tanks to most of water spots, it means that the water can be stored from the pipe and be drawn for over a long time instead of drawing it direct from the pipe.  Drawing it direct from the pipe means that when the water is cut, then the population lacks the water immediately.
