Kenya's water crisis
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.
