Problems of Kenya: Water

As can be seen in the sections on agriculture, there are green areas in the centre of Kenya. However, much of the country in the north and the south is very dry most of the time. Availability of clean water affects health, obviously, but also the time spent collecting water could be better spent doing other things.
