The vulnerability of a water resource system to climate change is a function of a number of physical features and social characteristics. The physical features associated with maximum vulnerability of water resources in a region include the marginal hydrologic and climatic regime; high rates of sedimentation leading to reduction of reservoir storage; topography and land-use practices that promote soil erosion and flash flooding conditions; and deforestation, which allows increased surface run-off, increased soil erosion and more frequent significant flooding. Coupled with these factors, the social characteristics that increase vulnerability of water resources include poverty and low income levels that prevent long-term planning and provision at the household level, lack of water control infrastructures, inadequate maintenance and deterioration of existing infrastructure, lack of human capital skills for system planning and management, lack of appropriate and empowered institutions, absence of appropriate land-use planning and management, and high population densities and other factors that inhibit population mobility. Of all the relevant factors in climate, precipitation is the main cause of disasters in flooding, water pollution, soil erosion, dam breaks and water-related disease outbreaks among others. Floods increase vulnerability of society and thereby perpetuate and increase the incidence of poverty.

Kenya's economy and that of the Great Horn of Africa rely on rain-fed agriculture. Unfortunately, the country is prone to hydrological extremes, mainly drought and floods. The occurrence of drought/flood is associated with not only the destruction of property but with loss of lives. The situation is worsening under the observed reduction in seasonal rainfall and amplified global warming. Characterizing the recent evolution of climate extreme scenarios across localized domains remains an imperative process to adapt tailor suit innovative solutions to drought risks and their impacts. The purpose of this book is aimed at demonstrating the recent changes in droughts/pluvial events over Kenya for planning purposes. The first chapter describes the existing literature on the past work documenting historical occurrences of drought/flood over localized domains or the whole country. Chapter two presents the approaches used to examine the current drought/flood scenarios by illustrating the trend, intensity, severity, and frequency based on the Standardized Evapotranspiration Precipitation Index (SPEI). Chapter three describe the results derived from careful analysis of climate extremes most pronounced over the study region. Lastly, possible conclusions and recommendations are presented in the last chapter. The book is designed as an upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and research text. Authors: Ayugi Brian Odhiambo, Guirong Tan, Niu Ruoyun, Dong Zeyao, Moses Ojara, Lucia Mumo, Hassen Babaousmail, and Victor Ongoma.
