This directory is the result of a team work involving various persons and institutions.
The data used for the preparation of maps, was derived from the existing CETRAD database, field surveys for primary data collection and from collaborating institutions. The 2009 population data was sourced from Kenya National Bureau of statistics (KNBS). Some of the water abstraction data was sourced from Water Resource Management authority (WRMA) and also from WRUA baseline survey reports conducted by various consultants.
