● Laikipia plateau - dryland savannas and low hills
● more than 1,000 mm/yr from its upper slopes to the plateau.
● large disparities in water availability for local farming communities

● estimate availability of agricultural water for communities in upstream and downstream areas
● evaluate effectiveness of governmental structures in coordinating water usage among communities
● better understand effects of climate change, and resulting disruption in water availability, on household income and food security
