Locations of water supplies serving Nairobi, Kenya.

In curation License 

This dataset portrays locations of water supplies serving Nairobi, Kenya. This data was used in Map 3.9 in Nature's Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being. Locations of dams were approximately located by WRI based on the citations listed below.

"Nature?s Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being" integrates spatial data on poverty and the environment in Kenya, providing a new approach to examining the links between ecosystem services (the benefits derived from nature) and the poor. This publication focuses on the environmental resources most Kenyans rely on to earn their livelihoods, such as soil, water, forest, rangeland, livestock, and wildlife. The atlas overlays georeferenced statistical information on population and household expenditures with spatial data on ecosystems and their services (water availability, wood supply, wildlife populations, and the like) to yield a picture of how land, people, and prosperity are related in Kenya.
