Lake Baringo and Lake Bogoria Merging Crisis: The Hydrological Risks Kenya Must Address Now
The Lake Baringo and Lake Bogoria merging crisis is no longer simply a question of two Rift Valley lakes getting closer together. It is a warning that the hydrological behaviour of one of Kenya’s most environmentally sensitive landscapes is changing and that communities, infrastructure, ecosystems, and local economies are being exposed to increasingly complex water-related risks.… Continue Reading
How Climate Risks Are Quietly Reshaping the Future of African Cities
Climate risks are no longer distant environmental concerns discussed only in scientific reports and international conferences. Across Africa, they are becoming visible in everyday life, influencing how cities grow, how infrastructure performs, how water systems function, and how communities prepare for the future.… Continue Reading
The Future of Water in Africa: Will Growing Cities Have Enough to Survive?
The Future of Water in Africa has never been more important than it is today. Across the continent, cities are expanding at unprecedented rates, populations are growing, and climate change is placing increasing pressure on already strained water systems.
