Kenya: Photo Opp

I've taken many photos since arriving, but this is one of my favorites.

Here, we're out in the field looking at a "furrow" or canal built for water to travel more efficiently from one town to another, losing less of it into the dirt along the way and allowing more to be used for watering crops, or cooking/drinking consumption. I keep forgetting that furrows are the only way that water travels from one community to another, and there aren't also underground pipes.

One of the craziest parts is that this furrow was built in the last ten years with a large grant that one of our professors, in the white coat, received. Before this was built, there was just a dirt canal that the water had carved out itself.

And yes, that's Kili in the background.
