    Assessing land use-land cover changes and their effects on the hydrological responses within the Nyangores River Catchment, Kenya
    (University of Western Cape, 2021) Ndungo, Margaret Njoki; Mazvimavi, Dominic
    This thesis aimed at contributing knowledge on how the widespread changes in land use/cover resulting from increasing human population and their associated activities, are influencing hydrological responses in a sub-humid catchment. The study therefore hypothesised that reduced forest cover over time in favour of agricultural activities is altering hydrological processes of the catchment which is affecting the flow characteristics in a sub-humid catchment. The sub-humid catchment selected to investigate these issues is the Nyangores River Catchment in Kenya.
