An Assessment of the Soil Conditions In the Proposed Extension of the Lake Kenyatta Settlement Scheme (Lamu and Tana River Districts) Report No. P62, 1985

Abstract

At the request of the Ministry of Lands, settlement and Physical Planning, a site evaluation was carried out between 8th and 26th March, 1983 to describe the soil conditions outside the present Lake Kenyatta Settlement Scheme and assess its possibility for expansion. The survey area, covering approximately 17,000 hectares, is situated in Lamu District and partly in Tana River District in the Coast Province. It comprises two parts, one on the the northern side of the road between Witu Forest and Mkunumbi and the other on the western side of the present Lake Kenyatta Settlement Scheme (see fig. 1). The field work was executed in collaboration with Mr. J. Nuwamanya and Mr. S. Wataka.
