Water services in Kenya are often inadequate, unsafe and unsustainable. The arid and semi-arid and poor peri-urban areas are mostly vulnerable and are largely characterized by low water services provision and severe water scarcity, where the demand substantially surpasses its availability.
The pre-feasibility study considers identifying the contextual features that allow use or limit the viability of selected technologies in areas (counties) with less developed infrastructure within the wider view of sustainable water supply.
Coastal setbacks are ‘a prescribed distance to a coastal feature such as the line of permanent vegetation, within which all or certain types of development are prohibited (Cambers, 1998). A setback may dictate a minimum distance from the shoreline for new buildings or infrastructure facilities, or may state a minimum elevation above sea level for development. Elevation setbacks are used to adapt to coastal flooding, while lateral setbacks deal with coastal erosion.
The description of this technology originates from Linham and Nicholls (2010).
Riparian buffers are vegetated, often forested, areas (“strips”) adjacent to streams, rivers, lakes and other waterways protecting aquatic environments from the impacts of surrounding land use. To the extent possible riparian buffers should compose of native species and typically are divided in three zones with a total width of 15 to 200 meters. The first zone should consist of different grasses, a middle zone planted with bushes and a last part with large trees.
