Angololo water resources development project (KE-UG)
The Sio, Malaba and Malakisi rivers drain two adjacent catchments in the transboundary area between Kenya and Uganda. In these territories the recourse to poor agricultural practices has led to environmental degradation mostly in terms of water quality (shortage, pollution, etc). In addition to this situation, critical issues arising from Climate change effects are more and more noticeable on [...]
