Goal: identify 3R options to buffer water
based on the characteristics of the landscape

Characteristics of suitable 3R options
• Area specific, incorporating the possibilities and limitation of the physical landscape
• Local demand driven, fitting in the socio-economic landscape of the specific area

What fits where in the landscape?

E.g.
• Geological formations
• Elevation and topography
• Soil characteristics
• Flow accumulation
Depends on the landscape characteristics
• Impermeable and permeable layers in the subsurface
• Infiltration rates
• Sediment in the riverbeds
• Depth of the hardrock

What fits where in the Northern Kenya
Sanddam potential
Shallow groundwater potential
Cost effective water pan potential
Subsurface dam potential

Ways to use the 3R map
Inspiration for interventions in addition to those currently applied in an area
Indicate possible target regions to apply specific kinds of interventions
As a base to work on an area integrated view, e.g. to connect examples in different areas
Þ overall: as an inspirational / planning / evaluation tool for the feasibility phase

Dialogue based on locally known possibilities
=> Becomes dialogue based on the broader possibilities
Informed decision making

The landscape based approach can be beneficial for
• Implementing organizations:
framework to determining the options for interventions to implement
an indication of the options to consider in an area in Northern Kenya when applying for funding
• Policy makers and coordinating bodies:
evaluate and advice on planning of implementing organization
• Funding organizations:
indicate different options to provide funding for
provide an example of a feasibility phase which could be beneficial as a part of project calls

Summarizing
Zones with various characteristics are identified in Northern Kenya, each with its own 3R potential
This provides inspiration to export good practices from one area to another
The 3R potential map provides guidance for implementing organizations, policy makers, coordinating bodies, and funding organizations
General data should be complemented with local, site specific information before implementation
The approach developed for Northern Kenya is applicable for various regions
