In recent years, the need for stakeholders' cooperation and
adjustment of their lifestyles as well as land-use activities has
ever been so stressed, owing to uncertain climatic vulnerabilities
facing most ecosystems. Green economy has been propounded as a
paradigm shift from business as usual. The study conducted in
Muooni Catchment (1965 to 2010) reveals increasing trend of minimum
and maximum annual temperatures with subsequent decreases in
rainfall and discharges . Water balance is predicted to decrease
and farming water vulnerability to worsen by 2030. Yet, just like
in Moses' account of the burning thornbush of Mount Hored, Muooni
Catchment is literally burning without being consumed. What makes
this catchment greening? What are some capabilities of this farming
community? What benefits result from a green water economy in this
catchment in the course of climate change? This book puts in motion
an exciting discovery on the "Warming and Greening" experience of
the people of Machakos District in Kenya. It displays innovative
and integrated tools for Vulnerability-Capability Assessment (VCA+)
in a watershed for agricultural water development.
