The Tana River, Kenya’s longest river, is a vital lifeline supporting millions of people, agriculture, hydropower, and urban water supply, including Nairobi. Flowing from Mount Kenya to the Indian Ocean, the basin faces increasing pressure from competing water demands and planned development projects. This video explores how integrated basin planning, stakeholder engagement, and ecosystem valuation—especially in the sensitive Tana Delta—are essential to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability and community livelihoods.
