    "content": "an arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) area. It has seen its water level drop drastically due to excessive irrigation in the upstream areas. Similarly, Athi-River is heavily tapped for irrigation and industrial use, contributing to what the Hon. Member is calling reduced flow downstream. Encroachment and human activity within the riparian areas is another factor that has reduced the flow of our rivers. This has contributed to the degradation of our river ecosystems. The construction, agriculture and urban development activities along rivers, like Nairobi River and Athi River, have not only reduced their water flow but have also increased the pollution levels."
