The Kenya water sector underwent far reaching reforms through the
water Act 2002
Previously, provision of water service was the responsibility of the
ministry of water and irrigation and a few city and municipal councils
After the enactment of the Water Act 2002, water service provision
was essentially the mandate of Water Service Providers(WSPs)
Currently under the new constitution 2010, the service provision is
vested on county governments
A new water bill is in parliament to align the arrangement with the
constitution

At the apex is the Ministry of Water and Environment and Natural
Resources
Roles : Policy development and formulation of water resource
management, this includes
Water & Sanitation policy
Water quality and pollution control policy
flood control and land reclamation policy
Waste water treatment policy
The Water Service Regulatory Board(WSRB) & Water Service
Boards, are independent institutions to regulate and deal with
dispute handling respectively

Water Resource Management Authority(WARMA)
Is charged with responsibility for, managing, regulating, protecting,
apportioning and conserving water resources nationally, including
trans-boundary water
National Water Strategy
Section 49 – 50 of the Water Act 2002, defines the national water
strategy
The strategy, envisages the existence of a water service provider in
all regions of the country and that effective management is achieved.
Water Services Trust Fund: is an established organ within the
Water Act 2002, charged with the role of assisting in financial capital
costs of provision of water services to communities without
adequate water and sanitation services.
The frame work has actualized:
1.
Separation of the management of water resources from the
provision of water services
2.
The separation of policy formulation from day today administration
and regulation
3.
Decentralization of water functions to lower level of state organs
4.
The involvement of non- governmental entities in the management
of water resources and provision of water service

Kenya is a ‘water scarce’ country; renewable freshwater supplies
<1,000 cubic meters per capita per annum.

Population now at 40 m and growing at 1m/yr, fresh water is
becoming even more scarce because of;

WATERSHED FACTS
Thika Dam’s catchment area measures
7,494 Ha. From Kimakia to Gatare natural
forests in Eastern Aberdares; 60% within
agricultural farmlands.
Sasumua Dam catchment area is 12,800 Ha;
20% within agricultural lands.
Main Concerns:
a) Sediments in rivers: High levels of erosion
and landslides
b) Low river water volumes during dry
seasons
c) Poverty driving intensified farm activities,
environmental destruction
d) Riparian areas need conservation for dam,
