Large water reserve in Kenya discovered

from bubblews.com: Recently it has been revealed that a large aquifer has been discovered in Kenya. More than 300 metres underground, there is so much water there it could potentially serve Kenya's needs for 70 years.

The Lotikipi Basin Aquifer was found by project ran by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and the Kenyan government was funded by Japan. A number of survery techniques including radar, satellite and geophysics were used in order to the find water reserve which holds more than 9 times more than the current water reserves of the country.

Here is a statement from Abou Amanni of UNESCO:
 
"I'm not saying this could solve all of the problems because from finding water to providing water to the population is another step because we need to have investment, we need to put in place infrastructure and so on. But we have seen the system and the fact water is there, and that is extremely important and it could be a game changer within the country."
