Climate change presents significant threats to the achievement of the MDGs. To achieve the objectives of the MDGs and climate change strategies (mitigation and adaptation), low carbon energy resources such as geothermal energy are required. This study focuses on the possible contribution of geothermal energy in providing energy services and creating sustainable livelihoods, while meeting the objectives of the MDGs and climate change adaptation in the eastern Baringo lowlands, within the Marigat and East Pokot districts, located in Kenya‘s north rift. The potential of using geothermal energy in climate vulnerable sectors and in income- generating activities using resources within a 50 km radius is summarised in a Lindal diagram Likewise, the potential for maladaptation from the proposed geothermal utilisation schemes are also discussed. To derive both mitigation and adaptation synergies from geothermal utilisation, the research creates the first Geothermal Adaptation-Mitigation (Geo-AdaM) conceptual framework, and identifies potential co-benefits, tradeoffs and limitations. Finally, the research highlights some of the infrastructural development and benefits from the Olkaria geothermal project in Naivasha (electricity production and direct use) and assesses the potential of transferring such benefits to the undeveloped East Pokot (part of eastern Baringo lowlands). This study brings to light the potential benefits before the commencement of geothermal drilling in the eastern Baringo lowlands, and is thus intended to guide geothermal developers, planners, and investors on the existing opportunities and how they can be realised to empower and improve the lives and livelihoods of locals before expensive drilling operations begin. Útdráttur Aðgangur að hágæðaorku er forsenda hagþróunar og framfara í anda Þúsaldarmarkmiðanna, en loftslagsbreytingar ógna því að markmiðin náist. Til að uppfylla Þúsaldarmarkmiðin og aðgerðaráætlanir vegna loftslagsbreytinga (sem fela í sér bæði aðlögun og minni losun gróðurhúsalofttegunda) er nauðsynlegt að byggja orkukerfi framtíðarinnar á kolefnissnauðum orkulindum. Rannsókn þessi metur möguleg áhrif nýtingar jarðhita á samfélagsþróun, sjálfbærni og aðlögun að loftslagsbreytingum innan ramma Þúsaldarmarkmiðanna á tveimur landsvæðum i Sigdalnum mikla í Kenía (Marigat og East Pokot héraða innan Baringo láglendisins). Möguleikar jarðhitanýtingar í atvinnugreinum viðkvæmum fyrir áhrifum loftlagsbreytinga og í ferlum sem leiða til aukinnar tekjumyndunar innan 50 km radíuss frá jarðhitasvæðum eru metnir og sýndir í Líndal grafi. Einnig er fjallað um neikvæð áhrif á aðlögun vegna mögulegrar nýtingar jarðhitans. Til að leiða í ljós samverkandi áhrif þess að draga úr losun gróðurhúsaloftegunda og aðlögun að loftlagsbreytingum er Geo-AdaM líkanið sett fram og bent á mögulega samverkandi ábata beggja leiða, fórnarskipti og takmarkanir. Að lokum er mögulegur ábati sem og þróun innviða í tengslum við jarðhitanýtingu (raforkuframleiðslu og bein nýting) í Olkaria í Naivashahéraði metin, sem og möguleikar þess að svipaður ábati náist í East Pokot, sem er mun vanþróaðra svæði í austurhluta Baringo láglendisins. Í heildina sýnir rannsóknin fram á mögulegan félagshagrænan ábata þess að nýta jarðhitaauðlindir í Baringo héraðinu áður en jarðboranir hefjast á því svæði. Rannsóknin getur því nýst í áætlanagerð, bæði fyrir fjárfesta og fyrirtæki, sem huga að framkvæmdum tengdum jarðhitanýtingu, við að greina möguleika á jákvæðum áhrifum framkvæmdanna á velferð íbúa á öðrum vanþróuðum svæðum áður en dýrar jarðboranir hefjast.

Preface The word “power” in the title of the thesis is both factual and metaphorical. It stands for electric power and ability or opportunity to change the lives and livelihoods of people by providing basic energy services and creating opportunities for mitigation and adaptation with examples from geothermal energy resources. The thesis shows how geothermal technology and international environmental policies can be used in guiding meaningful implementation of geothermal projects with positive impact on basic societal needs, and in creating sustainable livelihoods. It narrows the gap between social and technical aspects of geothermal development and shows their interactions in providing practical solutions to vulnerable communities. It further highlights the relationship between the lack of infrastructure and vulnerability to climate change using examples from Kenya, across seven geothermal fields. The thesis is motivated by the untapped potential of geothermal energy in adaptation and is the first to discuss, in a comprehensive way, the potential role of geothermal energy use in adaptation as well as the opportunities for mitigation-adaptation synergies. Successful low temperature utilisation schemes are also drawn from several countries and linked to adaptation in order to support the arguments advanced in this thesis, given the fact that low temperatures schemes are still under-developed in Kenya. Some of the results from the thesis can be up scaled and/or applied in regions with similar climatic and geothermal characteristics (within the East African Rift and beyond). The thesis opens up several research opportunities and should therefore be used as a source of knowledge and a roadmap for further research. It is also worth noting that geothermal development will not be a panacea for the problems of the region discussed in this thesis, and therefore necessary interventions from other sectors and institutions are needed for full realisation of the benefits. Although the thesis is principally geared toward geothermal energy and climate sensitive sectors, it is also a valuable resource for other renewable energy projects as well as livelihood sectors which are not vulnerable to climate change, and can therefore be used across the board, with minor modification, as and where applicable.

  • 2009 Trip Report KENYA
    KENYA and TANZANIA TRIP REPORT Sept 25-Oct 23, 2009 PART 1 - Classic Kenya text and photos by Adrian Binns Sept 25 / Day 1: Blue Post Thika; Castle Forest We began the morning with an unexpected Little Sparrowhawk followed by a Great Sparrowhawk, both in the skies across the main road from the Blue Post Hotel in Thika. The lush grounds of the Blue Post are bordered by the twin waterfalls of the Chania and Thika, both rivers originating from the nearby Aberdare Mountain Range. It is a good place to get aquatinted with some of the more common birds, especially as most can be seen in close proximity and very well. Eastern Black-headed Oriole, Cinnamon-chested Bee- eater, Little Bee-eater, White-eyed Slaty Flycatcher, Collared Sunbird, Bronzed Mannikin, Speckled Mousebird and Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird were easily found. Looking down along the river course and around the thundering waterfall we found a pair of Giant Kingfishers as well as Great Cormorant, Grey Heron and Common Sandpiper, and two Nile Monitors slipped behind large boulders. A fruiting tree provided a feast for Yellow-rumped Seedeaters, Violet-backed Starlings, Spot-flanked Barbet (right), White-headed Barbet as a Grey-headed Kingfisher, an open woodland bird, made sorties from a nearby perch. www.wildsidenaturetours.com www.eastafricanwildlifesafaris.com © Adrian Binns Page 1 It was a gorgeous afternoon at the Castle Forest Lodge set deep in forested foothills of the southern slope of Mt. Kenya. While having lunch on the verandah, overlooking a fabulous valley below, we had circling Long-crested Eagle (above right), a distant Mountain Buzzard and African Harrier Hawk.

  • Lake Turkana Archaeology: the Holocene
    Lake Turkana Archaeology: The Holocene Lawrence H. Robbins, Michigan State University Abstract. Pioneering research in the Holocene archaeology of Lake Turkana con- tributed significantly to the development of broader issues in the prehistory of Africa, including the aquatic civilization model and the initial spread of domes- ticated livestock in East Africa. These topics are reviewed following retrospective discussion of the nature of pioneering fieldwork carried out in the area in the1960s. The early research at Lake Turkana uncovered the oldest pottery in East Africa as well as large numbers of bone harpoons similar to those found along the Nile Valley and elsewhere in Africa. The Lake Turkana area remains one of the major building blocks in the interpretation of the later prehistory of Africa as a whole, just as it is a key area for understanding the early phases of human evolution. Our way had at first led us up hills of volcanic origin. I can’t imagine landscape more barren, dried out and grim. At 1.22 pm the Bassonarok appeared, an enormous lake of blue water dotted with some islands. The northern shores cannot be seen. At its southern end it must be about 20 kilometers wide. As far as the eye can see are barren and volcanic shores. I give it the name of Lake Rudolf. (Teleki 1965 [1886–95]: 5 March 1888) From yesterday’s campsite we could overlook nearly the whole western and north- ern shores of the lake. The soil here is different again. I observed a lot of conglom- erates and fossils (petrification).

    JOURNAL OF THE EAST AFRICA NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY AND NATIONAL MUSEUM 15 October, 1978 Vol. 31 No. 167 A CHECKLIST OF mE SNAKES OF KENYA Stephen Spawls 35 WQodland Rise, Muswell Hill, London NIO, England ABSTRACT Loveridge (1957) lists 161 species and subspecies of snake from East Mrica. Eighty-nine of these belonging to some 41 genera were recorded from Kenya. The new list contains some 106 forms of 46 genera. - Three full species have been deleted from Loveridge's original checklist. Typhlops b. blanfordii has been synonymised with Typhlops I. lineolatus, Typhlops kaimosae has been synonymised with Typhlops angolensis (Roux-Esteve 1974) and Co/uber citeroii has been synonymised with Meizodon semiornatus (Lanza 1963). Of the 20 forms added to the list, 12 are forms collected for the first time in Kenya but occurring outside its political boundaries and one, Atheris desaixi is a new species, the holotype and paratypes being collected within Kenya. There has also been a large number of changes amongst the 89 original species as a result of revisionary systematic studies. This accounts for the other additions to the list. INTRODUCTION The most recent checklist dealing with the snakes of Kenya is Loveridge (1957). Since that date there has been a significant number of developments in the Kenyan herpetological field. This paper intends to update the nomenclature in the part of the checklist that concerns the snakes of Kenya and to extend the list to include all the species now known to occur within the political boundaries of Kenya. It also provides the range of each species within Kenya with specific locality records .

Box 2030-20200, Kericho, Kenya 2 School of Environmental Studies, University of Eldoret, P.O. Box 1125-30100, Eldoret, Kenya Our gratitude goes to the University of Kabianga for partially funding this research study, besides keeping a track of it Abstract For years, extra-terrestrial impact cratering was esoteric. However, impacts have become very important, mainly because they have been identified as the likely immediate cause of dinosaur extinction. Impact cratering by extra-terrestrial bodies including asteroids comets and meteorites is an important geologic process, not only for the minerals that it forms, but also because of the knowledge that it is dangerous to mankind and life on earth. There is also the fact that extra-terrestrial impact crater building is a continuous process that may be going on even this very minute, somewhere in the universe. Consequently, the earth, just like other members of the solar system is targeted by extra-terrestrial falling objects. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of impact cratering on Kenya’s environment, with focus on Silali basin. Silali basin is a depression that is found to the north of Lake Baringo; around Kapedo town. It is suspected to be an Extra –Terrestrial Impact Crater (ETIC).

This knowledge of drought pattern is important in mitigating drought related hazards and in planning for adaptation. Arid and Semi Arid lands are usually more susceptible to drought because of increasing climate variability. River Basins, including the Kerio Valley Basin, are frequently affected by droughts. In this study, precipitation and streamflow data were reconstructed to determine streamflows from the missing periods. Moreover, the Streamflow Drought Index (SDI) was used to examine the probability of the recurrence of hydrological drought in the Basin betw11een the periods 1965-1983 and 1992-2009. This study also applied Water Poverty Index (WPI) to assess and monitor water requirements for different communities in the Kerio Valley Basin. The water requirements of seventy five administrative locations within the Kerio Valley Basin were assessed. The results from the analysis showed that the Baringo and West Pokot districts scored a lower index compared to those located in Keiyo, Marakwet, Koibatek, and Uasin Gishu districts.

The land can be accessed at the Kangawa Primary School junction and is about 1.8km west of this junction along a dry weather road. Water Demand and Use Kangawa-Upendo community is not served by any source of portable piped water, which would imply a near absence water supply on the client’s land. Apart from private boreholes and shallow wells in the area, there is no other feasible water supply. The community therefore relies on shallow wells, which have contaminated water due to percolation of fecal material from pit latrines.
