Surely, if you were told to move from what you call home today, where would you move to? "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

What are you smoking young man?? You two are both right and wrong...If the dams are full it means they cannot use the same to regulate the flow hence the people downstream are left at the mercy of mother nature as the river flows untamed. And it is not given there will be flooding. Only if it continues raining above normal.

No sir!, first there are no 7 dams but 5 - Masinga, Kamburu, Gitaru Kindaruma and Kiambere, 2 are yet to be built. The other dams are full and are spilling too....Kiambere the last dam has been spilling for wks now. Masinga is the largest of the 5 "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

It should be the 5 folks dam as the other 2 were never built. Having the dams all full is similar to having the Tana plus all other smaller tributaries and seasonal rivers flowing towards the Tana Delta. Abit of Geography- a delta is a generally flat area that floods during the rainy season- world over, it is not a new phenomenon. With the guys at Tana river, this should be a yearly migration to higher ground, it is just that last few years the rains have not been heavy making guys settle for longer periods. Pastoralist should tell you about grazing cattle in river valleys during flash floods or sand harvesters getting caught by flash floods. The dams have actually helped the impact of flooding, what we should accept that 2018 has been an outlier- I may be wrong but its the wettest year in recorded history where nature comes to retrace its path. Cutting down trees and bushland has contributed to overland flow of water as it's not trapped enhancing the flooding. harrydre wrote:murchr wrote:harrydre wrote:limanika wrote:Njunge wrote:hardwood wrote:[quote=murchr]Spilling began at 4 The spillage is more of a trickle...

Escapism, another thing, the walls are very strong and the spill ways were built to release the pressure when the dams are full. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.
