Nairobi is facing severe flooding, leaving infrastructure paralyzed and residents displaced. The National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority (NWHSA) is urging a shift to long-term water harvesting strategies to combat the recurring crisis.

• The floods have caused impassable roads, including Mombasa Road, Kenyatta Avenue, and Thika Road, and submerged homes in estates like South C and Embakasi.
• NWHSA CEO Eng. Julius Mugun emphasized that current drainage systems are overwhelmed and outdated.
• The authority advocates for transforming stormwater from a nuisance into a valuable resource through active capture and storage.
• NWHSA is committed to collaborating on sustainable water works, including reservoirs and mandatory household harvesting, to reduce peak flows and ensure water security.
