Locals stare at dry rivers as power generation dips

Two men walk over the bridge in Abadare Forest, where a section of Gura River in Othaya,Nyeri , has started drying up.

A gang of boys happily plunge into the diminished pool at Chania falls. They have no idea they are in the middle of a national crisis.

Their favourite Chania falls is no longer roaring. The geysers spraying the nearby rocks to create a spectacular rainbow on hot afternoons too have gone, replaced by protesting whimpers of a dying giant.
