Drew Gower Princeton PhD candidate, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

●Laikipia plateau - dryland savannas and low hills ●more than 1,000 mm/yr from its upper slopes to the plateau. ●large disparities in water availability for local farming communities Mt. Kenya

●estimate availability of agricultural water for communities in upstream and downstream areas ●evaluate effectiveness of governmental structures in coordinating water usage among communities ●better understand effects of climate change, and resulting disruption in water availability, on household income and food security Project Objectives

Field work ●Stream gauging ●Water sample collection ●Meetings with local water resource organizations

Stream Gauging

Gauging Locations

Stream Gauging

Lab work ●Water isotope analysis ●Water turbidity analysis ●Plant isotope analysis
