The application of remote sensing and GIS techniques for groundwater studies in Lurambi-Bunyala area, Kenya
Abstract
This study is aimed at developing interpretation and evaluation strategies that integrate various
data types for prediction of new groundwater sources as well as efficient management of existing
water resources. The already existing water points that were drilled by Ministry of Environment
and Natural Resources, Water Development Department, in conjunction with Kenya Finland
Cooperation (KEFINCO) and other available hydrogeological data have been used to test both
remote sensing and GIS as tools that can effectively spatially analyze the data for both
exploitation and management purposes. In order to achieve this, collection of data from
literature, maps, borehole records, Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, field observations
and analysis of remotely sensed data have been used to create a hydrogeological model of the
study area.
