About Nairobi
Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, is a vibrant and rapidly growing metropolis known for its modern skyline and bustling city life. It is a central hub for commerce, industry, and tourism in East Africa.
Water Situation
The tap water in Nairobi primarily comes from rivers and dams, namely Deila/Eldoret water resources, which supply Nairobi Dam. The water contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and while the quality has generally improved, there are still challenges with infrastructural degradation and pollution. The Nairobi City Water & Sewerage Company is responsible for distributing the water, with oversight on quality being provided by the Water Resources Authority of Kenya.
