1. 17. MOTION - INCORPORATION OF INTELLIGENT WATER MANAGEMENT

SYSTEMS IN BUILDING PLANS FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVING

(Sen. Wahome Wamatinga, MP)

THAT, AWARE THAT water is an essential yet scarce resource whose demand is increasing rapidly due to population growth, urbanization, and industrialization, and whose wastage has become an issue that needs to be addressed urgently owing to Kenya’s vulnerability to climate change;

NOTING THAT there is a growth in the number of buildings coming up to accommodate the rapidly growing population thereby posing a challenge to water management;

APPRECIATING THAT the incorporation of water management systems in building plans include a variety of techniques and technologies such as rainwater harvesting, waste water recycling, low-flow plumbing, and sensor systems that detect leaks and (de)activate water flow when necessary thereby optimizing the use of water by eliminating water overexploitation, waste water management, and pollution; …………../Motion

(No. 062) THURSDAY, JULY 20, 2023 (1143)

NOW THEREFORE the Senate urges the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development in coordination with the Council of Governors and the National Environment Management Authority to:

i. incorporate into the building code and standards a requirement for intelligent water management systems in all building plans; and

ii. undertake a systematic nation-wide renovation to government- owned buildings to incorporate water management systems.
