Title: The mau forest fear mongers.
Post by: RV Pundit on September 13, 2020, 06:58:53 PM
So reading Itare dam ESIA coz I am interested in hydro projec along the river - and it appears at least water levels haven't changed

Forest excisions, the latest in 2001, and the subsequent conversion to agricultural use
have significantly reduced Mau Forest Complex forest cover. Especially in much of the
upper parts of it which encompasses the Itare River catchment where between 1986
and 2009 more than 20% of forest cover was lost to agriculture. The impact of this on
the Itare river hydrology was surprisingly small as evident in monitoring repo

The Waititu approach is the way to go. Use Dams and all sorts of technology to dam the water for drinking agriculture and hydro. This conservation populism is total bullshit and lack of imagination. Planting trees is quite brainless.

Exactly. Being promoted by developed western countries - who are basically throwing down the ladder - having developed. Africa is suppose to remain pristine...untouched..undeveloped...virgin...but what with billion of people we have? We need to EXPLOIT our natural resources - and once we have developed - now we can sit back and think environment. Right now we cannot afford it.

You are wrong on all the big picture questions: on Ruto's presidential ambitions, on environmental protection and on SGR. You are swimming against the tide.
