Editor's Notes: A Golden Ticket to Smart Water Management
I recently wrote a post on the National Driller website about a huge find in Kenya. A company called Radar Technologies used satellite imaging to guide drillers to a massive aquifer in the country’s arid north.
The Lotikipi Basin Aquifer measures about 41 miles by 62 miles. It has a storage capacity of 207.5 billion cubic meters and recharges at about 1.2 billion cubic meters a year. For context, imagine finding an underground lake the size of Rhode Island.
