From the point of view of energy‚ Kenya is almost self-sufficient‚ thanks to hydroelectric stations at dams along the upper Tana River‚ petroleum-fired plant on the coast and geothermal facilities at Olkaria. To become completely energy sufficient‚ Kenya aims to build a nuclear power plant by 2017. Regarding education‚ in January 2003‚ the Government

Huge quantities of water go through the high dam at Aswan from lake Nasser. This hydroelectric power supplies Egypt with a lot of its electricity. As well as being inexpensive to produce‚ this clean energy does not pollute the environment. Other countries depend on nuclear power- power produced when atoms split

Firstly‚ this report will consider the background to this problem and then it will compare and analyze two water provision methods in Africa‚ desalination and dams. Finally‚ this report will offer some recommendations. 2.0 Background Water is not only a physical resource: in every culture it is spread among social‚ spiritual‚ political and environmental meanings.

Managing Water Supply Freshwater * Only 3% of the Earth’s water is fresh water‚ 97% is sea water. * Only 1% of the total amount of water is available for human use. Water as a scarce resource Reasons for scarcity: - Due to increasing demand as annual global use of water has increased 7 fold. -Uneven distribution of precipitation -Climate change leads to disturbances to water cycle - Deforestation leads to higher surface runoff which causes less clean water. - Poor or improper farming practices

In 2011‚ a project was announced by the government to build a hydroelectric dam that would power the nation. Water in Africa is an essential commodity that is crucial for development.At the time it is theorized that the damn could not only use the dam to generate power but not hold year’s supply worth of water. Ethiopia wanted the water for their own use and used the damn to limit the amount going towards

Electrical power can be created by burning wood‚ thus large tracts of forests are destroyed to feed a growing demand for power by industry and people. To solve this power problem there have been many hydroelectric dams built to harvest the Amazon rivers power‚ for example the Tucurui hydroelectric dam built on the Tocantins River used to power the Carajas mine in Brazil. There are also many agricultural strains on the rainforest‚ agribusinesses are set up to export food – the largest of which is cattle
