    "content": "I want to begin my contribution by saying that integrated approach to the management of water resources demands that everything concerning water be put together. Therefore, in an ideal situation, forests which are catchments ought to be part of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. We cannot talk about water resource management without talking about forests. We are now talking about the Mau, Aberdares and Mt. Kenya forests, and we have two Ministries that ought to be dealing with that, because the Water Resources Management Authority ought to have the same concerns as the Forestry Department. So, this is something that the Government has to think about and bring under the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. In South Africa, it is called “Ministry of Water and Forestry”. This also applies to several other countries. In Egypt where there are no forests, the Ministry is referred to as the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. In spite of the name, we ought to think of bringing forests under the Ministry of Water and Irrigation."
