Ewaso Ng’iro Narok, Rumuruti The Ministry and its State corporations are constantly monitoring the performance of the dams and water pans in the country, including private water pans. Water pans that show some level of distress are evacuated. On the long-term measures, the Ministry is mobilising resources through various strategies, which entail public-private partnerships (PPPs), water-sector climate financing, and social dams to construct climate-proof water harvesting and storage infrastructure to harvest water for flood control. The target is about 100 large dams, 3,000 water pans and 200 small dams. The plan is to increase the annual per capita water from 452 cubic metres per person to 620 cubic metres per person by the year 2025 and 700 cubic metres per person by the year 2027. To alleviate the perennial flooding within the Lower Tana Basin areas, that is, Garissa and Tana River counties, the Ministry is proposing to reroute the flood waters from River Tana through the canal to Fafi wetlands. The rechannelling of these flood waters will also be useful for irrigation during the period as well as for recharging the aquifers."
