    "content": "at worst, water that has been siphoned or stolen from the main distribution lines leading to losses in terms of revenue. The Kenya Kwanza Government policy to construct huge mega dams using public-private partnerships would mean that we have to manage water properly so that what we harvest can be accounted for. With 70 per cent of non-revenue water, this would remain a pipe dream. It is, therefore, important that we embark on putting into place not only new policies but equally infrastructure that can detect leakages so that water can be treated as a variable asset. Water is life. We know that the human body is made of 70 percent fluid and it would be very important that we, for the purpose of our future generation and in line with the SDGs, engage in practices that ensure we can save on water. This would mean that the Government would need to create new policies, as the Senate comes up with a legal legislative framework that will enforce such policies both at the county and at the national levels. This would mean that all the buildings owned by the Government need to meet a certain standard and all the new buildings must incorporate intelligent systems to detect water losses and most importantly incorporate the aspect of water harvesting."
