Cultural and socioeconomic conditions
This pilot addresses the most pertinent problem of the area: how to sustainably increase the water availability for cattle and also contribute to pasture improvement. When it rains, water for cattle and pasture are in abundance, but increasingly long dry spells haunt the Masai herds. We therefore look at the opportunity to construct very simple masonry walls in rocky high runoff areas without erosion to increase infiltration, sustainable access to ground water and re-green the area for pasture.
====Cultural Socioeconomic and socioeconomic cultural conditions====
Kajiado central is a growing regional hub for agriculture and pastoralism. The people of this area are predominantly Masai, a culturally rich ethnicity with a high esteem for their cattle. However, large corporations extract groundwater, which leads to less water availability for domestic water supply, especially in the Masai area.
