Ewaso Ngi’ro River is the backbone to the pastoralist communities, wildlife and the entire flora and fauna associated with and within it. The River supports livelihoods of approximately four (4) million people from upstream, middle and downstream.
The Ewaso Ngi’ro River finds its source on the north-western slopes of the iconic Mt Kenya and Aberdare ranges, and flows through Kenya’s highlands of Nyandarua, Nyeri, and Meru and through arid and semi-arid lands of Laikipia, Samburu, Isiolo and Garissa Counties into the Merti Aquifer and Lorian Swamp in Wajir County, after which it passes through Somalia, joining the Jubba River. Marsabit County becomes part of the basin by virtue of seasonal Melgis River draining to Ewaso Ngi’ro River.
