Morris Mutunga grows vegetables like kale, spinach and amaranth on his farm in the Athi River area.

莫里斯·穆通加在他位于阿西河地区的农场种植羽衣甘蓝、菠菜和苋菜等蔬菜。

He said that he used to walk seven kilometers from his home to the Athi River to get water.

他说，他过去常常从家里步行7公里到阿西河取水。

But families in the quickly growing suburb of Athi River, some 30 kilometers away, say they can no longer depend on the water.

但是在约30公里外，位于内罗毕郊区的快速发展的阿西河镇的住户表示，他们无法再依赖这条河了。

" When it rains, the Athi River water is usually full of garbage, when it clears a bit we use it to wash clothes, " said Nduta.

“下雨的时候，阿西河镇的河里通常都是垃圾，等河水稍微变清了一点，我们就用河水来洗衣服。”
