Yatta Canal Rehabilitation Progresses to Strengthen Climate Resilience and Water Access

H.E. Governor Wavinya Ndeti is spearheading the transformation of the Yatta Plateau as the Department of Climate Change accelerates the rehabilitation of the Yatta Canal, a critical lifeline for the local community.

The ongoing works include intensive desilting, excavation of cut-off drains, extension of overpasses, and key structural repairs aimed at restoring and improving the canal’s efficiency and reliability.

The project is revitalizing a vital water infrastructure system that supports both livelihoods and local economic activities, ensuring improved water flow and distribution across the region.

Beyond infrastructure development, the initiative reflects a strong commitment to climate resilience, sustainable water management, and enhanced agricultural productivity, contributing to a more prosperous and well-watered Yatta.

The rehabilitation underscores the County Government’s broader agenda of strengthening adaptation to climate change while improving the quality of life for residents through strategic infrastructure investments.
