This week, the Kenyan government announced that large aquifers have been discovered underneath Northern Kenya's Turkana region.This region is one of the poorest and driest parts of Kenya and is inhabited by nomadic peoples. Over 40% of Kenya's population does not have access to safe water, and the Kenyan government claims that the aquifers are large enough to provide for the nation for 70 years.
A similar aquifer was also discovered in Namibia, the driest nation in sub-Saharan Africa.
The water in these aquifers must now be tested to see if it is safe to consume.
