Environmental science in the news

Today I read an intriguing article in the New York Times written by the Nichole Kulish. It was titled "Huge Aquifires Are Discovered in North Kenya. The article was centered around a major discovery of an underground supply of water that could possibly improve the lives of northern Kenyan citizens. According to the United Educational, Significant and Cultural organization (Unesco) there are 17 million Kenyans that lack access to safe drinking water and 28 million are without sufficient sanitation out of 41 million Kenyans in total. Upon reading this article I was pleased to see that there had been a discovery that could prove to be beneficial for the millions of impoverished. The reason why I trusted the information given on this site is because the mission is to deliver breaking news, multimedia and reviews in today's society.
