Funding For Catchment Protection and how to submit a Community proposal

Introduction to WDCIntroduction to WDC
• WDC funding window was established in December 2008 by WSTF and WRMA
• Established to channel investment into water resource management at local level through WRUAs
• Necessitated by the fact that more than 50% of Kenyans obtain their water from the traditional water sources rather than an improved water supply
• Funds are used for capacity building of WRUAs, development and Implementation of Sub Catchment Management Plans
Introduction to WRUAIntroduction to WRUA• What is a WRUA
• A WRUA is an association of water users, riparian land owners , or other stakeholders who have formally and voluntarily associated for the purposes of cooperatively sharing, managing and conserving a common water resource
• WRUA membership• Riparian Members• Abstractor Members• Non –Consumptive Members- (Polluters, Hydro-power, tourism, fishing)• Observer Members
WRUA Objectives• Promote controlled and legal water use activities;• Promote good management practices to make efficient and sustainable
use of the water resource;• Promote water conservation practices to ensure sufficient water reserves
that meet the demands of the environment, the wildlife, the livestock and all the communities who rely on the water resource;
• To work towards reducing conflict in use of the water resource and participate in solving those that arise;
• Promote catchment conservation measures to improve water quantities and quality

• Mature WRUAs- SCMP Implementation
Eligible areasEligible areasCategory State of the resourceCategory 1 ALARMSurface Water Resource is periodically scarce, Water reserve threatened
Groundwater WQ or levels declining
Water Quality Catchment severely degraded, Pollution levels high, Risk to human life is high
Conflicts Potential for conflicts is highCategory 2 ALERTSurface Water Trend is towards scarcityGroundwater Trend is towards over abstractionWater Quality Declining trend in water qualityConflicts Ingredients for conflicts, e.g. ethnic, religious, language divisionsCategory 3 SATISFACTORYSurface Water Water resource sufficient in quantity & qualityGroundwater No tangible impactWater Quality WQ adequate, low riskConflicts Low risk of conflict
