Steve Macharia leans down to his pond and scoops up water in his palms. He lets it run through his fingers. “This water pan has changed my life,” the farmer says. He surveys it and one next to it — both lined with an impermeable plastic sheet, and each holding about 100,000 litres of water. By storing rainwater in these ‘pans’, Macharia explains, he can irrigate his fields and harvest healthier cabbages not once but three times a year. This means he can now make Ks1.
Dominick de Waal, a senior economist at the World Bank, notes “an increased urgency” but says: “The window is also closing because of the enormous demographic changes.” Some solutions are easy to identify. “If we were to safeguard what we have, then we would really deal with the water problem in the country,” says Soipan Tuya, cabinet secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Forestry.
