Water catchments are becoming increasingly degraded in Kenya while agricultural areas, industry, and human population are steadily expanding. Therefore, human settlement coupled with deforestation and soil erosion has led to water and food shortages. Water resources, in particular, comprise one sector that is highly dependent on and influenced by climate. Climate thus, presents a risk, to livelihoods and sometimes lives at the individual level and to the economy and infrastructure at the national and regional levels. At the same time, it also presents opportunities that can be exploited. According to Prof. Fredrick Semazzi, Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences…
