The Kenyan chapter comes after the Addis Ababa declaration between July 1 and 3 in 2015 during a policy symposium on rainwater harvesting. Studies by ICRAF and UNEP show that Kenya’s rain water potential is more than 350 cubic meters. “If captured and managed well, this water is enough to support a population of 233 million people or close to five times the current population of Kenya,” said Maimbo Malesu of ICRAF.
