    "content": "The second thing that has affected our rivers is the long drought and erratic rainfall patterns occasioned by climate change. Climate change is the current currency in the world. It is there and therefore we must face it. We have witnessed massive floods in Nairobi. We have also had long spells of drought. We have had landslides. Climate change is a reality. It has reduced river recharge and flow. Rivers like Athi River and Ewaso Nyiro North River, which support very critical ecosystems and our pastoralist communities, are among the water bodies that have been affected by erratic weather pattern and prolonged drought. These changes have led to a significant reduction in water availability across the country."
