Water governance involves the upholding of the policies, strategies and legislation where water service providers have to develop and manage water resources in an efficient and effective manner while being accountable to the recipients of the services. Effective management and access to water resources is vital to sustainable development and good governance. Governments across the world have spent considerable effort and resources to move toward that goal. Governments, the public, donors, and development agencies have often neglected challenges in water governance. Some of these challenges are related to policies, access to water resources, participation and water information. In Kenya, a range of technical solutions for water problems could work if governance structures are good. The first section of this paper addresses a review of Kenya’s water supply and sanitation situation. The second section encompasses the governance structure in the water sector, which includes the policies, and institutions set to address water problems. The final section covers key water governance components and the use of technology as a strategic tool in the thematic area of water.
