dc.description.abstractThe main driver of change is seen as being climate change and variability which tends to overshadow other drivers such as human and livestock population, irrigated agriculture, and industry. Findings here show that there will be a slight drop (1%) in rainfall amount by 2040; however, flow in Wami River at Mandera gauging station is projected to decrease by 17% over the same period. The major reasons include abstractions to meet increased demands for irrigated agriculture (124%), livestock (47%), industry (12%) and domestic use (89%). Water resources planning in Wami sub-basin should therefore re-consider emphasis on projected rainfall amounts.en
