Climate Variability and Water Resource Degradation in Kenya : Improving Water Resources Development and Management

This report attempts to fill that gap for two of the most important water-related issues facing the effects of climate variability and the steady degradation of the nation's water resources. The study reported here concluded that the El Niño-L...

The study reported here concluded that the El Niño-La Niña episode from 1997-2000 cost the country Ksh 290 billion (about 14 percent of GDP during that period). During El Niño-induced floods, this cost primarily arises from destruction of infrastructure such as roads, water supply infrastructure, and pipe networks. The largest costs incurred during the La Niña droughts (1998-2000) were from loss of industrial production and other costs arising from reduced hydropower generation, as well as from crop and livestock losses. These costs are felt throughout Kenyan society. 2012-06-07T16:31:41Z 2012-06-07T16:31:41Z 2006 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2005/07/6525859/climate-variability-water-resource-degradation-kenya-improving-water-resources-development-management 978-0-8213-6517-5 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/7414 English en_US World Bank Working Paper No. 69 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC: World Bank Publications & Research :: Publication Publications & Research :: Publication Africa East Africa Kenya
