These proved so useful that they were compiled into a book co-authored by Mary Tiffen, Michael Mortimer and Francis Gichuki. More People. Less Erosion: Environmental Recovery in Kenya was published by John Wiley & Sons in the United Kingdom in 1993. The study contributes substantial data, historical analysis and provocative arguments regarding possible causes and solutions to land degradation. The study doubtless will form the basis fOl: much research and policy debate in the future. It is in the interest of making this information available in Kenya and at a reasonable retail price that The Roekefeller Foundation agreed to fund the Kenyan edition by the African Centre for Technology Studies (ACTS). Lack of access to recent research limits the debate, the intellectual challenge and consensus-building necessary for developing sound development strategies. ACTS and ACTS Press have sought to redress this problem through an active publishing programme over the past six years and through the recently established Consortium for African Scholarly Publishing. It is the objective of this Kenyan edition of More People. Less Erosion to make current research accessible to researchers and participants in Kenya. The challenges facing sustainable development in Africa are usually framed around the triad ofrapid population growth, the intensification ofagricultural production and maintenance of the natural resource base, especially soil, water, forests, rangeland and genetic resources. The literature on these processes at a continental level paints a picture ofunprecedented rates of population growth, the inability of food production to keep pace with demand and a resultant clearing offorests, overgrazing ofrangelands, erosion and nutrient depletion of soils and destabilization of hydrological systems. However, only at a local level can these processes and the relationships between them be explored, and only then can conclusions be drawn about the inevitability of environmental degradation and the social, economic, technological and policy factors that could lead to investment in, rather than degradation of, these resources. The case study of Machakos in this volume represents such a beginning. The study demonstrates just how dynamic agricultural change can be in Africa, the importance of a relatively long time-frame in exploring this nexus ofissues and the difficulty in assembling a consistent set of longitudinal data and studies that allows firm conclusions to be drawn. The authors draw a very positive picture of the adaptive response ofsmallholder farmers to changes in land availability, agricultural output and labour markets, technological options and x Foreword institutional innovations and their ability to invest in the agricultural resource base. Whether Machakos is on a sustainable growth path and how representative Machakos is of agricultural intensification processes in the rest of Africa, or even Kenya, is in this reviewer's opinion still open to question. Nevertheless, it is only with more studies like this that a more informed debate on agricultural intensification in Africa can take place. This Kenyan edition has benefited from the willing co-operation of the co-publishers, John Wiley & Sons, and the om. Dr Francis Gichuki, of the University of Nairobi, assisted in making the initial arrangements for the Kenyan side ofthis collaboration. This research work benefited enormously from the efforts of the team ofKenyan collabora­ tors from the University of Nairobi and of the farmers and others from Machakos who assisted in the initial field work and subsequent workshop. It is hoped that this Kenyan edition will inspire more local researchers to produce more such studies. Nairobi, August 1994 Dr John K. Lynam The Rockefeller Foundadon Acknowledgements This study was initiated in 1990 as an element in the World Bank's Dryland Management Research Programme. Funding was provided by the Bank's Environment Department (drawing on a grant from the Government ofNorway for research into the problems ofdryland areas in the Sudano­ Sahelian Region), the British Government's Overseas Development Administration and the Rockefeller Foundation (for the University of Nairobi component). It was sponsored in Kenya by the Ministry of Reclamation and Development of Arid, Semi-Arid Areas and Wastelands (MRDASW). The aim ofthe first phase ofthe study was to quantify change in Machakos District, Kenya, where there was a good database, as accurately as possible, in a series of profiles which would give a sound foundation for developing policy lessons. This was carried out through collaboration between researchers at the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and a team of scientists at the University ofNairobi. The project was led at OD! by Mary Tiffen, in association with Michael Mortimore, who took particular charge ofcoordinating the environmental studies. Kate Wellard (OD!) assisted the initial study of technology change. The University of Nairobi team were (in the order in which their contributions appear): • Rainfall: Dr S. K. Mutiso, Department of Geography. • Land use: Professor R. S. Rostom, Professor in the Department of Surveying and Photogrammetry. He was assisted by J. K. Yego and G. C. Mulaku. The photo-interpretation and photogrammetric and cartographic work was undertaken by the staffofthe Department, assisted by Mr J. o. Ojuok (Ministry of Water Resources, Machakos District). • Agricultural production: ProfessorA. C. Ackello-Ogutu and Dr S. G; Mbogoh, Department of Agricultural Economics. • Soil fertility: Dr J. P. Mbuvi, Department of Soil Science. • Soil erosion: Professor D. B. Thomas, Department of Agricultural Engineering. We owe him·particular thanks for sharing his experience of the District since the 1950s, and for his substantial contributions to the photographic record. • Vegetation: Dr Kassim O.

Acknowledgements: The Kitui County Government would like to acknowledge the financial support received from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Further, the Kitui County Government appreciates its longstanding partnership with the University of Oxford and UNICEF Kenya through various collaborating programs, including the DFID-funded REACH Program. The leadership received from Emmanuel Kisangau, Kennedy Mutati, Philip Nzula, Augustus Ndingo, and Hope Sila — all from the County Ministry for Water Agriculture and Livestock Development — throughout the audit exercise is appreciated. The sub-county water officers were instrumental in logistics planning and in providing liaison between the field audit teams, communities, and County Ministries for Agriculture, Water, and Livestock Development and Administration and Coordination. A team of local enumerators led field data collection: Lucy Mweti, Grace Muisyo, Abigael Kyenze, Patrick Mulwa, Lydia Mwikali, Muimi Kivoko, Philip Muthengi, Mary Sammy, Ruth Mwende, Peter Musili, Annah Kavata, James Kimanzi, Purity Maingi, Felix Muthui, and Assumpta Mwikali.

  • Pollution of Groundwater in the Coastal Kwale District, Kenya
    Sustainability of Water Resources under Increasing Uncertainty (Proceedings of the Rabat Symposium S1, April 1997). IAHS Publ. no. 240, 1997. 287 Pollution of groundwater in the coastal Kwale District, Kenya MWAKIO P. TOLE School of Environmental Studies, Moi University, PO Box 3900, Eldoret, Kenya Abstract Groundwater is a "last-resort" source of domestic water supply at the Kenyan coast because of the scarcity of surface water sources. NGOs, the Kenya Government, and international aid organizations have promoted the drilling of shallow boreholes from which water can be pumped using hand- operated pumps that are easy to maintain and repair. The shallow nature and the location of the boreholes in the midst of dense population settlements have made these boreholes susceptible to contamination from septic tanks and pit latrines. Thirteen percent of boreholes studied were contaminated with E. coli, compared to 30% of natural springs and 69% of open wells. Areas underlain by coral limestones show contamination from greater distances (up to 150 m away) compared to areas underlain by sandstones (up to 120 m). Overpumping of the groundwater has also resulted in encroachment of sea water into the coastal aquifers. The 200 ppm CI iso-line appears to be moving increasingly landwards. Sea level rise is expected to compound this problem. There is therefore an urgent need to formulate strategies to protect coastal aquifers from human and sea water contamination. INTRODUCTION The Government of Kenya and several nongovernmental organizations have long recog­ nized the need to make water more easily accessible to the people in order to improve sanitary conditions, as well as to reduce the time people spend searching for water, so that time can be freed for other productive economic and leisure activities.
