A group of British researchers have landed in Kisumu to illuminate residents and institutions on matters of water contamination.
The researchers from the Brighton University are part of the OneHealthWater project which seeks to help eradicate cases of water water-borne diseases in rural Sub Saharan African areas.
Led by Professor George Joyce, they are set to hold workshops in the lakeside county, in a bid to help technical institutions and Kenyan academics identify safe drinking water sources.
Mr Joyce says that they will as well teach participants of the forums on the low-cost interventions that can be used to out water-borne diseases like cholera and typhoid at bay.
"Our research is improving understanding of the transmission pathways of waterborne diseases such as typhoid and cholera in low-resource and emergency settings, and is helping global efforts to identify and apply practical low-cost interventions," he was quoted by The Argus.
Mr Joyce is the Director of the University's Center for Aquatic Environments.
He said that they will be communicating with the world on the progress of their research and workshops.
"We will be tweeting short stories about how our research is contributing to cleaner, safer water for all throughout World Water Day on Friday," he added.
