Application of the Plan This Plan shall apply in respect to the management and use of the Manguo Swamp Groundwater Conservation Area. 1.4! Goals The overall goals of the management Plan are to ensure sustainable management and use of water resources within the Groundwater Conservation Area while promoting equitable sharing of water resources. 1.5! Background information A catchment area is defined as the land from which water naturally flows into a water course. The status and conditions of a catchment determines the reliability, quantity and quality of its water yields. A catchment area acts like a water storage facility where during the rains, the vegetation cover allows the water ample time to percolate deep down and move as a sub-surface flow to recharge the rivers, springs and ground water storage in both shallow and deep aquifers. This sub-surface flow is slow resulting in rivers from a well-maintained catchment having higher base flows even during the dry season as well as good water yield from boreholes in the vicinity. In poorly maintained and degraded catchment, the rainfall results in the rapid surface run-off which is channeled into the river courses, resulting in flashfloods and high volumes of suspended solids. Since there is little storage in such a catchment, the rivers originating from such catchment will not be able to sustain their base flows during the dry season. Catchment areas are thus a vital component in water resource management and they should be formally delineated, declared as protected areas by being gazetted as such, protected from encroachment and pollution and managed sustainably to maintain their ecological integrity. 1.6! Background Information on Manguo Swamp The Manguo Swamp Groundwater Conservation Area is located within Kamirithu Sub-Location of Limuru Location within Kiambu County. The area on which the wetland lies measures approximately 33.4 hectares (0.334 square kilometres). There has been sub-division of the land into several plots and individuals issued with title deeds. The area lies within the 3BA sub basin and is the source of the Ithanji river, a tributary of Tigoni River. The protected groundwater conservation land under question area is in the form of a basin-like depression with an outlet to the south-east into Ithanji River. The swamp is currently partially covered by water in the southern part while the northern part has a very shallow water table and evidence of water coming onto the surface and flowing in a south-easterly direction to drain into the Ithanji River. An analysis of the drainage system in the neighborhood confirmed the area is one of the main sources of Ithanji River, a tributary of Tigoni River. 1.7! Location and size of the Groundwater Conservation Area The Groundwater Conservation Area is commonly known as Manguo or Kiboko Swamp. It is located in Kamirithu Sub-Location of Limuru Location, Limuru Sub County, Kiambu County and within the 3BA sub basin of Athi Basin Area. The Kenya Subsidiary Legislation, 2023 457 ! boundaries of the Groundwater Conservation Area and its riparian reserve has been demarcated and pegged by the Authority. 1.8! Watershed area The area that contributes surface run-off into the swamp has been delineated through the use of ArcSWAT software. The area measures 0.334 square kilometres (33.4 hectares) out of the 5.3 km2 catchment area of the Ithanji River as set out in Figure 1 in the Annexure to this Schedule. 1.9! Criteria Adopted in Identifying Manguo Swamp for Protection (L.N 170/2021) WRA has taken into account of the considerations provided under the Seventh Schedule of the Water Resources Regulations, 2021. PART II: PROCEDURES TO BE APPLIED FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THE MANGUO SWAMP GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION AREA 2.1! Physiography The Ithanji river catchment area elevation ranges from a low of 2260 m.a.s.l near the river’s confluence with Tigoni River to a high of 2280 m.a.s.l at the outlet from the swamp. The catchment is oval shaped and extends upstream in north south direction with a length of 746 metres (see the map above). The slope ranges between 1.2% to 8% with the steeper slopes found on the upstream part of the catchment. The catchment drains in an easterly direction, where it joins with the Tigoni River at the foot of the sub-catchment. 2.2! Climate The mean monthly temperatures range between a low of 16.7°C in July to a high of 20.7°C in March. The Tigoni sub catchment lies within the agro ecological zones (AEZ) IV that corresponds to woodland, it is either deciduous in subzone with unimodal rainfall as towards West Kenya and in Tanzania, or hard-leaved evergreen in bimodal rainfall subzones with two dry seasons as in East Kenya, where plants have hard or hairy leaves to avoid shedding them off twice a year. Generally, the area is characterized by moderate rainfall with annual rainfall of 1002.3 mm (Limuru DO’s Office Rainfall Station No. 9136161). April to June and October to December are wet or rainy seasons with maximas occurring in April and November respectively and with continental rains which are low occurring in between the two maximas. Table 1 and the figure below it set out in the Annexure to this Schedule represent the mean monthly rainfall at Limuru DO’s Office Rainfall station. 2.3! Vegetation The Tigoni catchment in which the Manguo Swamp catchment lies exhibits is within an agricultural area with changed vegetation. The area is predominantly tea growing zone and the vegetation is adapted. 2.4! Land Uses and their potential impact on the groundwater conservation area Human Settlement: The Tigoni sub catchment is within the jurisdiction of Kiambu County in a rural setting. The main land use in the area to the east of the swamp is large scale farming with the growing of tea being the main activity. Within the Limuru Town, the main Kenya Subsidiary Legislation, 2023 ! ! 458 land use is commercial and residential development with minimal industrial activities. To the north of the swamp, the main land use is small scale holding practicing mixed farming with tea and subsistence crops and dairy farming being practiced. The construction of buildings and an increase in the impermeable surfaces has resulted in an increased surface run-off which ends up in the swamp as well as into the rivers channels. The run-off carries pollutants from the surface as well as sediments which are deposited in the swamp thus affecting its functions as well as water quality. Mushrooming of these structures will impact negatively on the ecosystem health of the swamp which will eventually result into its death and subsequent loss of ecosystem services. 2.5! Exotic species of plants: There exists numerous exotic species of trees which are unsuitable in a water catchment area, including eucalyptus trees. 2.6! Vulnerability of the water resource Tigoni River has a Regular Gauging Station 3BA17 located at coordinates E036.724444, S01.158333 (37M 0246722, 9871868) at an elevation of 1890 m.a.s.l and approximately 13 km downstream of the Manguo Swamp. The station is rated and has daily discharge data for the period from the year 1939 upto 1991 though with gaps in between. In terms of geology, the area is covered by the Kerichwa Valley Tuffs which are well exposed in the Tigoni stream that flows through the area (Gregory, 1921p 164) and were designated by Shackleton (1945) to include a group of trachytic tuffs and agglomerates in the Nairobi area younger than the Nairobi Trachyte. These tuffs overlie the Nairobi Trachyte. The ground water system feeds into the surface drainage system of the Tigoni River through the numerous springs that exist in the area. The encroachment on the Manguo Swamp riparian and catchment land through construction of buildings and the planting of exotic tree species has resulted into reduced recharge into the ground, lowering of the water table and a possible decrease in the discharge of the Tigoni River. In order to have a clear understanding of the water resources availability in the Tigoni catchment, the available data has been used and collated with the existing daily discharge data of 3BA17 gauging station within the 3BA sub basin. Figure 2 set out in the Annexure to this Schedule shows the flow duration analysis for Tigoni river at RGS 3BA17. 2.7! The water resource quality objectives Section 20 of the Act requires the Authority to prescribe the criteria for classifying water resources for the purposes of determining water resources quality objectives for each class of water resource. The Resource Quality Objectives represent the desired status of the resource, covering all aspects of quantity, quality, timing and aquatic biota. The RQO’s are different for different classes of water resource. The objectives generally relate to the Kenya Subsidiary Legislation, 2023 459 ! extent to which the water body is allowed to be adversely impacted by water use with respect to its natural state. Conceptually the RQO’s provide a “target” condition of the resources. Management decisions should be made such that the condition of the resource is progressively trending towards the RQO. The status of the resource is a measure of how far the condition of the resource is from the RQO. Tigoni sub-catchment can be classified as of high Commercial importance. The area has predominantly urban and/or industrial agglomeration areas including their peripheral areas, which could be commercial. This category targets at ensuring quality of water resources to develop economy and prosperity in urban areas/industrial centres. Sustainable water resources management in the sub catchment will focus on cooperation with the commercial stakeholders, hence the need to have the interests of residents, industrialists and business community taken into account. 2.8! The class of the water resource The present aquifer classification system in Kenya is partly demand-oriented and partly geo-political and entails five classes: 2.8.1! STRATEGIC aquifers: aquifers used to supply significant amounts/proportions of water to an area where there are no alternatives, or where alternatives would take time and money to develop. 2.8.2! MAJOR aquifers: high-yielding aquifers with good quality water. 2.8.3! MINOR aquifers: moderate-yielding aquifers with variable water quality. 2.8.4! POOR aquifers: low-yielding aquifers with poor to reasonable quality water. 2.8.5! SPECIAL aquifers: aquifers or parts of aquifers designated ‘special aquifers' by the WRA. 2.9! Each classification is further defined in terms of its status, i.e.: 2.9.1! Satisfactory: no immediate stress, pressure or threat. 2.9.2! Alert: stress, pressure or threat identified or anticipated. 2.9.3! Alarm: water levels declining, water quality declining (stress, pressure or threat identified). 2.10! The Tigoni sub-catchment The Tigoni sub-catchment can be classified as “Alert” as the available water is at times not of adequate quality to meet the demand. The water is of relatively good quality in the upper parts of the river but deteriorates as the river flows downstream due to pollution. PART III: MEASURES FOR PROTECTION, CONSERVATION AND REHABILITATION OF THE GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION AREA 3.1 Authorised and prohibited Activities The activities to be undertaken within the groundwater conservation area are those with zero impact on its ecological status and integrity. The following activities are hereby specifically prohibited in the groundwater conservation area: Kenya Subsidiary Legislation, 2023 ! ! 460 (a)! tillage or cultivation; (b)! clearing of indigenous trees or vegetation; (c)! building of permanent structures (especially boreholes and houses); (d)! disposal of any form of waste; (e)! excavation of soil or development of quarries; (f)! planting of exotic species that may have adverse effect to the water resource; (g)! land reclamation. 3.2 Conservation Plan The objective of the conservation plan is to protect the long-term environmental sustainability of the catchment for enhanced water resources yield and maintain its ecological functions in terms of flora and fauna. In the development of the management programmes, care has been taken to ensure that there are explicit and logical links between the vision statement, management objectives, and the management strategies to achieve the objectives. The catchment protection activities planned to be undertaken shall include those set out in Table 3 in the Annexure to this Schedule. 3.4 Rehabilitation Plan The objective of the rehabilitation plan is to ensure the groundwater conservation area achieves its optimal performance level. This will be achieved through: (a)! removal of all inappropriate/invasive species of plants; (b)! re-vegetation of the riparian zone with water friendly/native species of trees and vegetation; Rehabilitation activities are particularized under the Rehabilitation Plan set out in Table 4 in the Annexure to this Schedule. 3.5 Catchment Monitoring Plan The objective of the monitoring plan is to collect water resources data and maintain a comprehensive database on the groundwater conservation area that provides information on water levels and quality of the spring’s water. Planned catchment monitoring actions include: (iv)! establish a water quality and pollution control plan. (v)! water sampling and analysis. (vi)! establish a water resources database. The particulars of the Catchment Monitoring Plan are set out in Table 5 in the Annexure to this Schedule. 3.6 Establishment and operationalization of management structure The objective of the management structure is to ensure that the protected area is managed in a sustainable manner with the involvement of all stakeholders under the leadership and coordination of WRA. This will be achieved through: (iii)! setting up the management structure with defined ToRs and mandates; Kenya Subsidiary Legislation, 2023 461 ! (iv)! development of resources mobilization strategies to raise funds for operations, maintenance and conservation of the protected areas. Operationalization of the management structure shall be as set out in Table 6 in the Annexure to this Schedule. 3.7 Catchment and Water Resources Monitoring The objective of the monitoring plan is to collect and analyse Manguo Swamp and water resources data to provide information on water discharge, water quality and catchment health as a response to human activities within the neighbourhood. This will be achieved through: (i)! re-establish the regular gauging station 3BA17 on Tigoni river to monitor water quantity and quality; (ii)! re-stablish a full hydro-meteorological station within the Tigoni river sub- catchment (Limuru DO’s Office – Station No. 9136161) to monitor precipitation, evaporation, humidity and temperature; and (iii)!establish water quality monitoring stations within the groundwater conservation area. The linkages between various stakeholders are contained in Figure 3 set out in the Annexure to this Schedule. 3.8 Monitoring and Evaluation Matrix The matrix contained in Table 7 in the Annexure to this Schedule shall be adopted for Monitoring and Evaluation to capture details of the progress of implementation of the planned activities.
