Rationale of the Project
The Mt. Kenya sub-catchment of the Ewaso Ng?iro North River basin provides over 80% of the river flow at Archer?s post in the dry season (Decurtins, 1992) and it?s the only hope for guaranteeing availability of the residual flow of 5m3/sec necessary to maintain a permanent flow past Archers? Post. In spite of this requirement, waters of the Mt. Kenya tributaries

has subsequently destroyed all the water catchment areas. In addition the condition is made worse due to continuous cutting of trees for either charcoal or firewood. Charcoal and firewood form the biggest source of fuel for cooking in this area. The two sources of fuel (firewood and charcoal) are environmental hazards in that they pollute the environment through fumes/smoke and gases. There is

The Baringo tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus baringoensis) fishery was once vibrant supporting a fish processing plant and a large fish market. It has a long history of commercial exploitation. In the 1960?s, the fishery production ranged from 500 ? ( ... )
tric tonnes per annum but declined to less than 200 metric tonnes per annum by late 1980?s. However, after the introduction of the African lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus) in the 1970s, the catches of have steadily declined. The degeneration in catches and sizes of the endemic species has been attributed to competition for habitat and predation pressure by the introduced species.
