The Nairobi River is a river that flows across Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. It is the main river of the Nairobi River Basin, with several parallel streams flowing eastward. All of the Nairobi basin rivers join east of Nairobi and meet the Athi River, which eventually flows into the Indian Ocean. The rivers are mostly narrow and highly polluted,[1] though recent efforts to clean the rivers have improved water quality.[2]
The main stream, the Nairobi River, bounds the northern city center, where it is partly canalized.
