To hear some big-name engineers talk, Thwake Dam along Makueni’s northeast boundary with Kitui County, close to where Athi and Thwake Rivers converge, is set to be a massive milestone for both these regions. Under constructed by China Gezhouba Corporation, the project comprises a multi-purpose dam for water supply, hydropower generation and irrigation development. It is designed to supply 150,000 cubic metres of piped water daily for domestic use and 35,000 cubic metres for Konza Technopolis. Or again: It will be implemented in four main phases that include construction of a 77 metre high dam, a hydro power plant, a 34,600 cubic meters of water supply, and a final phase for irrigating 400 km2.

The multi-billion 29 km2 dam project, costing a whooper great Kes. 82 billion, was first proposed in 1953 but work commenced in 2017 after getting a lot of attention by the Government, particularity in funding. And if everyone is right, it would be quite a turnaround in a region where residents walk close to 10 km in search of water. One key milestones has all been achieved; diverting a stretch of Athi River from its course (via two mega tunnels as the alternative underground route for Athi before its waters are channeled to rejoin the original course to the Indian Ocean) to create a dry surface for excavating the terra. Among the places of interest near Thwake Dam include Unoa and Malivanii Hills and Nzueni Range.

Kenya has several reservoir dams that play a consequential roles in water supply, hydroelectric power generation, irrigation, flood control, and other water-related activities. The most famous of these are Seven Forks Dams along the Tana River. While reservoir dams are critical infrastructure projects that contribute to Kenya’s economic development, they are also visually stunning go-to destinations.
