lake, dam
Its surface has been completely covered in water hyacinth since the 1990s, so no sailing nor diving can take place. The articifial dam was Nairobi's main source of water until the mid 1950s.
Its clean-up and ecological rehabilitation has been planned since 2002, now within the context of the larger "Nairobi River Basin Programme" of UNEP:

and the Nairobi Rivers Rehabilitation and Restoration Programme of NEMA:
