Note: The methodology used in the Global Open Data Index has changed over time; significantly so between 2015 and 2016. For this reason, the results are not directly comparable over time.

What data is expected?

Data, measured at the water source, on the quality of water is essential for both the delivery of services and the prevention of diseases. The Index either looks at the quality of designated drinking water sources, or of environmental water sources (if drinking water data is not available). See our methodology for more information. In order to satisfy the minimum requirements for this category, data should be available on level of the following chemicals by water source.

Fecal coliform
Arsenic
Fluoride levels
Nitrates
Total Dissolved Solids
Data per water source
Available for entire country

How open is the data?

It's not openly licenced
It's not in an open and machine-readable format
It's not downloadable at once
It's not up-to-date
It's not publicly available
It's not available free of charge

Details

The data on the Kenya Open Data portal did not cover the entire country and was not all government sources. Also not all the parameters specified were present in the data specifically Arsenic was missing. On researching the government sites there was no data available.
