A massive aquifer that holds enough water to meet all of Kenya's needs for 70 years has been discovered, ITV News can reveal.

The pool, which was found more than 300 metres underground, is so large you could pour Loch Ness into it approximately 25 times.

What is an aquifer?

It is an underground layer of water-bearing material, such as gravel, sand and silt.
Water can be extracted from the materials by using a well.
The newly discovered Lotikipi Basin Aquifer could provide water to Kenya for 70 years.

Earlier this year, they discovered five aquifers in north west Kenya and began exploratory drilling on two. As well as Lotikipi, a much smaller pool of water was found in Lodwar.

The discovery of Lotikipi will be officially announced on Wednesday (11 September) when the Kenyan government will also reveal how they plan to use the resource for the good of the country.

I'm sure Nestle will some how claim it was their water.

Waits patiently for folks to suck it dry before it can be replenished AND/OR find a way to pollute the whole thing ........ :snoop:

time for another "ethnic cleansing"

can't wait to read the articles about how Kenya was originally inhabited by dark skinned caucasians who still hold ancestral rights to the land.

:pachaha:
