ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED NYS MAVOLONI DAM

Summary

Machakos County in Kenya faces a critical challenge due to its reliance on a single water source, the Yatta Canal, for domestic and irrigation needs in a semi-arid region. The National Youth Service proposes to address this by constructing the Mavoloni Dam, an earth-fill dam 12.5m high, to secure alternative water for agriculture, livestock, and domestic use, including supporting the production of over a million tree seedlings. The project is currently in the planning phase, undergoing an environmental and social impact assessment to ensure sustainable implementation.
