Around this time last year Naivashe residents were horrified at the massive deaths of fish reported in freshwater lake.Hundred of dead fish dotted beautiful lake that was once fringed by thick papyrus.
According to experts,organic decomposition enriched the lake,causing algae boom which used all the oxygen need for fish survival.
These factors together with 2009 severe drought left a trail of disastrous effects on the community dependent on the lake and nature as well.
Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF)and wate resources Management Authority (WARMA)and the lake water Resource uses association (LANAWRUA)have initiated an intergrated action plan to stop further deforestation of water resource.
The project,overseen by WWF,involves developing a common vision that provided long-term solutions to secure sustainable development of the region and the national economy as well.
To this end,the initial phase of the lake restoration is projected at sh20 million and involves sensitising the sorround community to embrace proper agricultural practises to prevent sweeping chemicals down stream.
