An Evaluation of the Law Relating to the Management of Water-related Disasters With Specific Reference to Droughts and Floods in Kenya
Abstract
Droughts and floods are both natural and man made catastrophes that
have pervaded human lives even before the beginning of the recorded
history. These two calamities have been common events throughout the
world and beyond all doubt, they have affected human living conditions
and sustainable socio-economic development".
Occurrences of droughts and floods have lead to destruction of property
and loss of lives as people get displaced from their hornes-'. However the
most perplexing and bizarre thing about these calamities that have
adverse impacts on humanity and environment is that, in most cases
they normally occur in sequence, so that after heavy floods what follows
is a very severe drought resulting into a vicious cycle of loss of lives and
destruction of property.
