Water stress and land degradation are causes of food insecurity and
poverty in marginal and dry lands of Kenya. South-East Kenya is
particularly facing increased risk of crop failure due to increased
farming water costs under rainfall variability. This book develops
a hybrid approach that integrates spatially distributed variables
of plant water use with mathematical description of water
availability and farmers' water demand. It assesses hydro-
geomorphologic impacts affecting efficient use of farming water in
Muooni Catchment. It also determines the extent to which land-use
activities and other externalities impact on Muooni Dam's active
water storage capacity. Finally, it simulates the economic order
quantity (EOQ), the limit average cost (LAC) and the minimum
efficient scale (MES) of farmers' water demand under above normal,
normal and below normal rainfall regimes. The book is intended to
foster efficient water use in the course of climate change. It may
assist irrigation planners, dams and watershed managers as well
impact assessment researchers .
