Flood Control Projects

We have managed to construct flood control systems and other water infrastructure that have helped reduce the effects of floods. This year, people living along some sections of rivers Nyando and Awach-Tende were not displaced. Areas protected by dykes have managed to get bumper harvests from their crops and it is our joy and motivation to do more to ensure we cover more ground.

Flood control works are:

  • Construction of new dykes
  • Construction of check dams
  • Raising heights of existing dykes along various Rivers
  • River drainage channels
  • Seepage control on rivers
  • River bank stabilization on rivers
  • Construction of water pans
  • Construction of concrete check dams

Currently, we are carrying out various flood control projects along major rivers prone to floods where we seek to Improve the drainage capability of various rivers and Impound the flow within the flood plain and river channels. These are:  Kuja, Awach Tende/Maugo, Nyando, Nzoia- Budalang’I, Sabwani, Kapkakwa, Perkerra, Kawalase, Goda Merti, Sololo and Olopito El-Masharan Dam.
