These are some of the measures you need to put in place to avoid acute water shortage.

1. Ice

Freshwater ice is a reliable alternative whenever you are not able to get clean water for consumption.

You can obtain them and keep them in the freezer in the house. 

However, you are advised to melt the cubes before taking them to avoid sharp temperature fluctuations in your body.

2. Keep your body hydrated

The fact that you are facing water shortage dictates that you preserve what is already in your body. 

One of the ways you can keep yourself hydrated is by avoiding sweating. 

Perspiration will hasten your dehydration hence you will need shade and appropriate clothing. 

Also, do less physical exercises that result in a lot of sweating.

3. Banana farming

If you have settled in Garissa County, you should make sure that you plant some bananas in your garden. 

These plants might save your life when water becomes a rare commodity. 

Banana stumps preserve water for long and you are likely to get a bowl of drinking water from them.
