Kisumu has announced plans to step up extraction of water from Lake Victoria to boost supply in the city and its environs.

Kisumu Water and Sanitation Company also plans to construct a small dam on River Kajulu, its main feeder, as part of interim measures aimed at connecting up to 85 per cent of city residents.
