Promote rain water harvesting methods

For most urban dwellers, the rainy season is more of a curse than a blessing; massive flooding, accidents and worsening traffic congestion make city residents wish the rainy seasons could be scrapped off.

Worse still, even during heavy downpour, many urban dwellers have to contend with acute water shortages. Rain-water harvesting is a strange phenomenon to them. According to the 2009 Kenya Population Census, only 0.8 per cent of the urban population uses rain water.
