An Assessment of the Irrigation Suitability of the Soils and Water of the Mukutan, Loiminange and Logumkum Sites (Marigat Division, Baringo District). (Site Evaluation Report No. P83). Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development. https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/6690https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/6690At the request of the Provincial Irrigation unit (PIU) Rift Valley Province, soil and water investigations were carried out at three sites in Marigat division, Baringo district. This was a quick study to assess the suitability of the soils and water for small scale basin irrigation for the growth of subsistence crops like vegetables, maize, beans, sorghum, millet and peas. Since this is a preliminary assessment, the results and recommendations are based on the physical environment, a few field observations and limited chemical data. Emphasis was made on soil depth, soil texture, soil salinity and/or sodicity. Water samples from rivers in the area intended for irrigation were analyzed for their chemical composition. It is hoped that on the basis of the findings, a more detailed investigation will be carried out.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Report18ClimateGeologyWater supplyTemperature
