dc.description.abstract |
The Ewaso Ngiro River Basin, is characterized by a rapid highland to lowland climatic change with the vast parts being a semi-arid to an arid environment. During the dry season, water demand is much higher than the supply creating a large deficit and conflict situations. Most people rely on surface water sources and much more so river water sources. The increasing importance of irrigated farming has led to overexploitation of the perennial rivers mainly in the upper catchment and hence causing profound effects on downstream users due to reduced water availability. To contain this demand-supply imbalance, an improvement of water management is needed. This requires that an efficient appraisal and evaluation of river water situation be undertaken in line with management information requirements for a system having high temporal variability. This paper aims at highlighting the participatory appraisal of river water situation method that is being used by NRM3 and the contribution this has in water resources management improvement. |
