A team of researchers from Kabarak University have been undertaking a study within Nakuru Town which is implementing and evaluating the usage of smart networks for water management. This research has seen installation of smart water meters which enable remote measurement of water flow through a household for purposes of collecting water billing information. This is a NACOSTI-NRF sponsored research project.

The researchers led by Dr Kirori Mindo (Principal Investigator), Dr Moses Thiga, Prof Simon Karume and Mr Stephen Kipkoro, visited one of the installation site to observe and collect findings on the operation and success of the project, as well as advise on improvements and variations that will add value to the project.
