| dc.description.abstract | We show how a bridge and good road network opened up the Mombasa Count
of human settlements beyond the ability of Local Government to provide the infrastructure for human waste
management, leading to pollution of groundwater aquifers and effects in public health. We caution that the same
would happen in the Kwale County upon construction of the Dongo
to 1979, the population distribution in the Mombasa County was restricted by difficulties of access, particularly
at its potential district of Kisauni, whi
overpopulated due to difficult to access. However, upon construction of the Nyali Bridge the early 1980s, the
population dynamics shifted, making Kisauni the most populated area. It remains
on-site sanitation systems for human waste management. This has had impact on groundwater aquifers through
microbial pollution, rendering otherwise chemically suitable water unsuitable on this account without treatment.
Construction of the Dongo-Kundu By
rapid urbanization, replicating the water pollution problem experienced in the Mombasa County, particularly in
the locations found along its coastal belt. I
conservation of groundwater aquifers have been proposed to forestall the problem in the newly to urbanize area. | en |
