I met Lian Moore who says water is of great value to her as a farmer. Hence, she recycles water from household chores and uses it to water her plants. She says Daha regions are quite helpful and I mean handy during the dry season for both domestic use and agriculture. Thus people should reserve water. Well, John, a trader from Kmi says water is of great essence in his homestead for domestic use and reserves it through tanks and jerry cans use as little water as you can in your minimize it to look for ways of saving water, especially these rainy seasons, save as much water as you can because there have been a lot of problems, even water for drinking only. There have been a lot of challenges with the rationing from the water from the city council. He has advised Kenyans to avoid misuse of water and reserve to avoid shortages either drought recurs. However, he has urged the government to sensitize people on water reservations.
