This document summarizes datasets from Kajiado County on water resources and finds they are missing key information like coordinates, permit details, and water quality data. It identifies lessons like a need for better coordination, monitoring, data management policies, and links between research and management. Opportunities exist in building capacity for improved data collection, analysis, sharing and decision-making using emerging technologies.

13. Lessons learnt
 Duplication and potential for coordination
 Utility of technological capacity for reliable knowledge
and data management
 Limited monitoring and evaluation process for water
resource data
 Weak link between research and Water resources
management
 Gaps in policies on data management and sharing

14. Opportunities
 Institutional capacity development can create an
enabling environment that support concerted action for
data collection and processing for water resource
management
 Emergent technology can complement traditional
methods in data collection, analysis and sharing thus
increasing stakeholders access to data stored in public
domains
 Knowledge management and information technology
advances can have a strong and beneficial impact on the
quality of decision-making in the water sector
