| dc.description.abstract | Artificially derived runoff parameters were used to estimate the runoff potential on the Njemps Flats, Kenya, using the linear regression model of rainfall-runoff analysis. Resultant rainfall-runoff relationships revealed high runoff coefficients of up to 80% and thus, a high runoff potential. It is concluded that runoff-based afforestation is a viable undertaking on the Njemps Flats provided that species selected can withstand short- and long-term droughts. The runoff prediction methodology developed in this study can be applied to other areas where runoff data is lacking. | en |
