Mr Jeremiah Kiptala has recently completed his MSc thesis entitled “Intersectoral Water Allocation in the Tana River Basin” at UNESCO-IHE. This study focuses on the Seven Forks Project in the Tana river basin in Kenya. It consists of a cascade of seven reservoirs and hydropower stations located in the middle part of the Tana River basin and currently generating three quarters of Kenya’s electricity. A SDDP model was developed - to analyze the hydrological risk faced by downstream irrigation development projects
- to quantify the impacts of high sedimentation rates in Masinga, the most upstream reservoir, on energy generation and crop irrigation
