This paper looks at the morphological characteristics of gully networks developed within three contrasting host materials (one of weathered bedrock, the other two are alluvial deposits) in the Baringo District of Kenya.
Rainfall characteristics, rainfall reliability and the definition of drought : Baringo District, Kenya
Differing assessments of drought and reliable rainfall by upland cultivators and lowland pastoralists, were compared with the rainfall records of the Baringo District, Kenya. - (AJC)
This paper presents some of the findings of a multi-indicator investigation of the history of vegetational changes and land degradation in the Lake Baringo basin, Kenya, during the Late Holocene. C 14 and Pb 210-dated record of the lithostratigraphy
is used to reconstruct the paleoenvironment in the region of the lake. The stratigraphic record from lake Baringo reveals two abrupt dry episodes that led to drying up of the lake and a third period of dessication which resulted in lowering of the lake
Gully development on the Njemps Flats, Baringo, Kenya
This paper describes research untertaken at Baringo in northern Kenya, to gully processes and major controlling factors. Three gully systems were studied. At Lameluck shallow, highly active, dendritic gully systems. At Eldume, deep badland gully
Genetic variation in dry matter production, water use efficiency and survival under drought in four Acacia species studied in Baringo, Kenya
Total dry matter productivity, transpiration rate and their ratio, called water use efficiency, WUE, of 6-month-old potted seedlings of 4 dryland Acacia species were compared under irrigation in Baringo. Genetic variation in water use was measured
The Baringo District has long been regarded as one of the most severely degraded in Kenya. This paper briefly describes the Baringo basin, and the changes in society, land use and the environment which have occurred during the past 150 years
variations in moisture storage capacity. Experimental results indicate that vegetation bands at the scale observed at Baringo (Rift Valley, Kenya) are consistent with development by sequential scour and deposition, caused by some combination of sheetwash
This study reports on field runon experiments on 30 m plots at Baringo, Kenya and laboratory simulated rainfall experiments on a 25 m flume, designed to provide information on characteristic hydraulic conditions, the processes involved in microstep
information on the hydrological and erosional response of rilled hillslopes at Baringo. Implications of test results for design of conservation measures, and particularly the importance of ground vegetation, are discussed.
An analysis of using exposed tree roots or tree mounds as benchmarks for the estimation of erosion rates was carried out in the semi-arid Baringo District in Kenya. The biggest problem encountered in the application of this technique in tropical
Despite the important role trees play in semi-arid areas, very few data are available on growth of trees and distribution in relation to site. The study was carried out in the Njemps Flats of central Baringo, Kenya. Analysis of the woodland
