Government plans river diversion to avert Lakes Baringo and Bogoria merger

For years, rising waters in Lakes Baringo and Bogoria have swallowed homes, schools and farms, threatening livelihoods. Now, experts warn the lakes could merge, triggering an ecological crisis. To avert this, the government plans to divert Rivers Waseges and Loboi, which feed Lake Bogoria. But communities along the two rivers fear the intervention could destroy their livelihoods.
