	The Lake Naivasha Riparian Association (LNRA)
		Of course we have Lake Victoria, but that is at the far corner of the country and only benefits that immediate area; it does not benefit the country as a whole in the same way as Naivasha.
		So Lake Naivasha is enormously important as a reliable resource of fresh water and as such it comes under tremendous pressure from development – national development, district development, and private development – and there is only so much abstraction that it is possible to accommodate.
		We feel Lake Naivasha can provide some example of a community-based initiative which, at the end of the day, will have much more strength from support from the community because of the very fact that it is a community initiative.
