Now allow me to take you down memory lane. Nairobi city, Kenya’s capital is derived from the Maasai phrase ‘enkare nyrobi’ which translates to “cool water”. in the early 1920s, Nairobi was a swampy, uninhabited area, until a supply depot of the Uganda railway was built by the British in 1899 linking Mombasa to Uganda. Over the years the population has increased, and without proper planning, Nairobi is no longer a place of cool waters but rather a place of sewage-flowing rivers. With the current drought leading to drying of rivers, Nairobi rivers are flowing.
River flow is heavily fed by sewers following decades of non stop pollution
