  • Sediment Dynamics and Improvised Control Technologies in the Athi River Drainage Basin, Kenya
    Sediment Dynamics in Changing Environments (Proceedings of a symposium held 485 in Christchurch, New Zealand, December 2008). IAHS Publ. 325, 2008. Sediment dynamics and improvised control technologies in the Athi River drainage basin, Kenya SHADRACK MULEI KITHIIA Postgraduate Programme in Hydrology, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Nairobi, PO Box 30197, 00100 GPO, Nairobi, Kenya [email protected] Abstract In Kenya, the changing of land-use systems from the more traditional systems of the 1960s to the present mechanized status, contributes enormous amounts of sediments due to water inundations. The Athi River drains areas that are subject to intense agricultural, industrial, commercial and population settlement activities. These activities contribute immensely to the processes of soil erosion and sediment transport, a phenomenon more pronounced in the middle and lower reaches of the river where the soils are much more fragile and the river tributaries are seasonal in nature. Total Suspended Sediments (TSS) equivalent to sediment fluxes of 13 457, 131 089 and 2 057 487 t year-1 were recorded in the headwater areas, middle and lower reaches of the river, respectively. These varying trends in sediment transport and amount are mainly due to the chemical composition of the soil coupled with the land-soil conservation measures already in practice, and which started in the 1930s and reached their peak in the early 1980s. This paper examines trends in soil erosion and sediment transport dynamics progressively downstream. The land-use activities and soil conservation, control and management technologies, which focus on minimizing the impacts of overland flow, are examined to assess the economic and environmental sustainability of these areas, communal societal benefits and the country in general.

    APPENDIX 11 FUTURE SOCIO-ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK Page 11.1 DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL AND CONSTRAINT A11-1 11.2 URBAN LAND USE TYPES AND DISTRIBUTING PRINCIPLES A11-4 NUTRANS The Study on Master Plan for Urban Transport in the Nairobi Metropolitan Area APPENDIX 11 FUTURE SOCIO-ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK 11.1 DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL AND CONSTRAINT Water Supply Capacity The existing water supply in the Nairobi City has four sources, namely Kikuyu Spring, Sasumua Dam, Ruiru Dam, and Ngethu. 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). FIGURE 11.1-1 WATER SUPPLY SCHEME IN NAIROBI CITY Final Report Appendix A11-1 NUTRANS The Study on Master Plan for Urban Transport in the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Sewerage Treatment Plan The whole Nairobi City is not covered by the existing sewerage system managed by Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company.
