A part from pure infrastructure investment requirements, the department will introduce other interventions to address infrastructural challenges such as professional service delivery, sustainable operation and maintenance, adequate access to services, forest development and protection of water catchment zones and hilltops. This will go a long way in increasing vegetation cover to levels that will influence environmental changes and have direct impact on climate change and water quality.

Through the departments interventions, the County Government of Busia has achieve over 56 per cent water coverage to its citizens compare to 53% that is the national population water access standing.

Despite efforts put in place to rehabilitate more water sources, water quality and quantity in the country stands at 54.6% and 66pc. Distance covered in search of water has significantly reduced with 86pc of the county population accessing water within a distance of 1km.
