Water shortage is a growing problem in the Nairobi Metropolitan Area because of the water loss reportedly amounting to some 50% of total water supply and expanding population. Water supply plan with target year 2000 was formulated in the “Third Nairobi Water Supply Project". The projected population of Nairobi City would be 3.86 million and corresponding projected water demand would be 752.2 thousand cubic meters per day in 2010. Planned area of piped water supply covers the whole Nairobi City and some part of Ruiru to the north, and Syokimau to the southeast. Local area water supply projects are proposed in Ngong and Ongata Rongai to the southwest and Western Shamba Area to the northwest of Nairobi City. Gravity type water supply system can be applicable to the areas less than 1,700m above sea level in the Nairobi Metropolitan Region (See Figure 11.1-1).

  • DRAFT Exploring the Potential Impact of Reforestation on the Hydrology of the Upper Tana River Catchment and the Masinga Dam, Kenya
    DRAFT Exploring the Potential Impact of Reforestation on the Hydrology of the Upper Tana River Catchment and the Masinga Dam, Kenya Jennifer Jacobs, Jay Angerer, Jeff Vitale Raghavan Srinivasan, Robert Kaitho, Jerry Stuth, Texas A&M University ABSTRACT The Upper Tana River Basin is strategically one of the most critical resource areas of Kenya. The Masinga Reservoir, at the outlet of the basin, provides water and hydroelectric power for 65% of the Nation. Unregulated deforestation and expansion of cultivation practices onto marginal soils in this critical river basin has resulted in significant reservoir siltation, reduced ecosystem function and more erratic downstream flows. Using a participatory process, collaborating technical policy analysts working for key government institutions in Kenya identified the need to assess the impact of meeting a national goal for reforestation of 30% of deforested lands with the infusion of new agro-forestry technologies and land tenure laws through the consideration of population expansion to 2015. Using a rapid rural appraisal methodology, it was determined that reforestation below 1,850 m would be difficult to achieve. However, reforestation at elevation increments of 2,000 m, 1,950 m, 1,900 m and 1,850 m would represent a 30 to 55% increase in reforested area in the Upper Tana River catchments. In addition, the results of this analysis show that full implementation of reforestation to 1,850 m would result in a 7% decrease in sediment loading in the Masinga Reservoir. Runoff yields would be similar to baseline conditions but peak annual flows would increase approximately 3% with less inter-annual variability, resulting in greater stability of water levels in the reservoir.

It originated as the headquarters of the Kenya Uganda Railway, established when the Nrailhead reached Nairobi in June 1899. The city grew into British East Africa’s commercial and business hub and by 1907 became the capital of Kenya (Mitullah 2003, Rakodi 1997). Nairobi, A Burgeoning City Nairobi occupies an area of about 700 km2 at the south-eastern end of Kenya’s agricultural heartland. At 1 600 to 1 850 m above sea level, it enjoys tolerable temperatures year round (CBS 2001, Mitullah 2003). The western part of the city is the highest, with a rugged topography, while the eastern side is lower and generally fl at. The Nairobi, Ngong, and Mathare rivers traverse numerous neighbourhoods and the indigenous Karura forest still spreads over parts of northern Nairobi. The Ngong hills are close by in the west, Mount Kenya rises further away in the north, and Mount Kilimanjaro emerges from the plains in Tanzania to the south-east. Minor earthquakes and tremors occasionally shake the city since Nairobi sits next to the Rift Valley, which is still being created as tectonic plates move apart. ¯ ,JBNCV 5IJLB /BJSPCJ3JWFS .BUIBSF3JWFS /BJSPCJ3JWFS /BJSPCJ /HPOH3JWFS .PUPJOF3JWFS %BN /BJSPCJ%JTUSJDUT /BJSPCJ8FTU Kenyatta International /BJSPCJ/BUJPOBM /BJSPCJ/PSUI 1BSL Conference Centre /BJSPCJ&BTU The Kenyatta International /BJSPCJ%JWJTJPOT Conference Centre, located in the ,BTBSBOJ 1VNXBOJ ,BKJBEP .BDIBLPT &NCBLBTJ .BLBEBSB heart of Nairobi's Central Business 8FTUMBOET %BHPSFUUJ 0510 District, has a 33-story tower and KNBS 2008 $FOUSBM/BJSPCJ ,JCFSB Kilometres a large amphitheater built in the Figure 1: Nairobi’s three districts and eight divisions shape of a traditional African hut.

    Master’s Thesis 30 ECTS Sub-Catchment Water Balance Analysis in the Thika-Chania Catchment, Tana Basin, Kenya Emma Staveley Email: [email protected] Student number: 6601510 Sustainable Development Track: Environmental Change and Ecosystems (ECE) Supervisor: Stefan Dekker Internship with World Waternet, Blue Deal Programme Internship Supervisors: Jeroen Bernhard and Epke van der Werf Abstract: Water scarcity is a growing issue in the Thika-Chania catchment, Kenya. Water allocation planning is used to manage water resources fairly, equitably and to avoid over abstraction. Water allocation planning depends on quantitative information on water availability. Unfortunately there is a lack of data available on water yield due to an inadequate monitoring system. This thesis aims to provide quantitative information on water availability through use of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), using water balance analysis to determine availability and demand. The SWAT model provided acceptable representation of stream flow, calibrated to a Nash Sutcliffe 0.58. The Environmental flow was found to vary across the catchment, ranging between 0 and 1.75 m3/s. The north edge of the downstream area was found to have the greatest issue with water scarcity due to higher levels of water demand, higher evaporative loses and less rainfall. Key words: Hydrological Modelling, Data Scarcity, Water Availability, SWAT Acknowledgements: I would like to thank Stefan Dekker, Jeroen Bernhard and Epke van der Werf for their guidance, encouragement and for making Microsoft Teams calls a joy. I have learnt so much through working with them. I would also like to thank all of the frontline workers for their bravery and dedication in keeping everybody safe during this pandemic.
