| dc.description.abstract | This study sought to identify the problems that .
disparage the performance of Marakwet Indigenous
Irrigation Systems in the Kerjo Valley with Arror
Location as the case study area~
The study examined policy guidelines geared
towards the development of irrigation in Kenya~ It ,"
has been established, as a result, that policy
guidelines tend to favour modern technology based
irrigation Even the Irrigation Act is inclined towards
large scale public irrigation schemes. Indigenous
technology based irrigation systems which are usually of sm
scale are apparently accorded a flimsy treatment in this
respect. Marakwet Indigenous irrigation system, for
example, sustains majority of households in its area of
influence has found out by this study. Crops grown
under this system are.basically meant for subsistence.
The little that is sold by some households is meant for
earning some income to be used in purchasing basic
needs........................................... | en |
