Climate Adaptation Actions: A story from Africa

As a licensed water service provider in Kenya, Kisumu Water and Sanitation Company Ltd (KIWASCO) relies on Lake Victoria and River Kibos as its main sources of water to serve the city of Kisumu. These vital sources are increasingly impacted by global climate change and local environmental challenges. The utility faces issues such as fertiliser runoff from farms upstream into the river, an infestation of water hyacinth plants in the lake, and rising lake levels.
