Potential for water buffering A landscape based approach Lieselotte Tolk, et al.

Goal: identify 3R options to buffer water based on the characteristics of the landscape

Characteristics of suitable 3R options Area specific, incorporating the possibilities and limitation of the physical landscape Local demand driven, fitting in the socio- economic landscape of the specific area 3 R I D A

Various options for water storage 4

What fits where in the landscape? 5

E.g. Geological formations Elevation and topography Soil characteristics Flow accumulation Depends on the landscape characteristics Impermeable and permeable layers in the subsurface Infiltration rates Sediment in the riverbeds Depth of the hardrock

7 Analysis of the various information sources

8 What fits where in the Northern Kenya Sanddam potential Shallow groundwater potential Cost effective water pan potential Subsurface dam potential

Ways to use the 3R map Inspiration for interventions in addition to those currently applied in an area Indicate possible target regions to apply specific kinds of interventions As a base to work on an area integrated view, e.g. to connect examples in different areas overall: as an inspirational / planning / evaluation tool for the feasibility phase

Dialogue based on locally known possibilities => Becomes dialogue based on the broader possibilities Informed decision making 10

The landscape based approach can be beneficial for Implementing organizations: framework to determining the options for interventions to implement an indication of the options to consider in an area in Northern Kenya when applying for funding Policy makers and coordinating bodies: evaluate and advice on planning of implementing organization Funding organizations: indicate different options to provide funding for provide an example of a feasibility phase which could be beneficial as a part of project calls 11

Summarizing Zones with various characteristics are identified in Northern Kenya, each with its own 3R potential This provides inspiration to export good practices from one area to another The 3R potential map provides guidance for implementing organizations, policy makers, coordinating bodies, and funding organizations General data should be complemented with local, site specific information before implementation The approach developed for Northern Kenya is applicable for various regions 12
