Effect of agricultural practices on water quality in Ndakaini Dam, gatanga, Muranga, County, Kenya

Reports & Research
October, 2017
Kenya

Change in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) is inevitable and accuracy and time are important
to detect the change in different seasons to monitor trends and status of water quality.
Understanding LULC and Water Quality Parameters (WQP) is necessary for efficient water
management and reduction of operation water treatment cost. Therefore, the effect of
agricultural land uses on water quality in Ndakaini, Gatanga, Muranga County, the LULC and
WQP were analyzed using Remote Sensing (RS), Geographical Information System (GIS) and

Value chain analysis of grass seeds in the drylands of Baringo county, Kenya: a producers’ perspective

Journal Articles & Books
December, 2016
Kenya

Pastoral households are increasingly practising fodder production in response to forage scarcity associated with land degradation, climate variability and change. Understanding the grass seed value chain is a prerequisite for developing sustainable fodder production and guiding appropriate out-scaling in the drylands. This study investigated the producers’ perspectives on grass seed production, marketing and challenges faced along the grass seed value chain in Marigat Sub-County of Baringo County, Kenya.
