All Kenya's major river drainage from the cardinal highlands, divided by the rift into those fluent westwards into Lake Queen Victoria and those fluent eastwards towards the Indian Ocean. For ingestion purpose, the ministry of Water is doing all it can to do certain that most countries are connected with piped water. All major towns have got piped H2O and the H2O is clean though not recommended for direct consumption.
For investment; it depends on the country you are in. Same countries have got got H2O deficits while others have more than water. We have got very many H2O companies producing bottled H2O that is very safe for imbibing and is available at all shopping centres and even to the very little kiosk.
