Mau forest Problems

Is the biggest forest in Kenya(400000 hectors of land

Since 2001 about 60000 hectors have been cut down

41000 were encroached by illegal settlers

The trees ate cut down which means, there's more sediment in the rivers coming from the forest.

less water

Kenya doesn't have much forest left

Kenya's water crisis

19m people lack safe water

Kenya has highly polluting mining plants and they dump toxic substances into rivers. For example, large mining companies are accused of dumping radioactive pollutants into waterways.

In addition, each year, the Rivers receives 50 tons of uranium spilled from gold mines. The 150,000 people living in shanty towns along this river draw their water directly.

In another place, lakes, which was a good fishing area, now has a high concentration of uranium (16 mg/liter) and a pH of 2.2. This water is acidic like lemon juice and is classified radioactive zone by the NNR (National Nuclear Regulator). In short, all these waters are now much too polluted and wasted.

The lack of clean and safe drinking water in Kenya is a very serious problem, as there are more than 1.6 million children under the age of five who die every year in the world. This equates to the death of a child every 19 seconds. In short, we can conclude that drinking water is lacking for many people, especially in Kenya.


1.6 million of children under 5 years old die in the world every year

Every 19 seconds, one child dies from drinking dirty water

Kenya has highly polluting mining plants and they dump toxic substances into rivers.
