Thank you for this documentary, sometimes I feel we focus on areas that do not matter while neglecting the areas that most need our attention.

[@jaru75]

This is the best environmental documentary I have seen lately. It totally is award-winning and truly deserves global visibility and award. Congratulations to the awesome team behind this. One can feel the level of intense research and dedication that has gone into making this show this is a true tribute to our environment and also a not so subtle dire warning that we have started reaping the rewards of environmental mismanagement and other related corrupt practices that have been endemic sadly in Kenya for long.

good work, very informing. this confirms the word of David Attenborough nature has a way to reclaim its self

[@georgeikinya2779]

Very true, and very ruthless when doing so

[@kibabaderick539]

Very true especially on the documentary called the Human Planet on BBC

[@paschalnyamogo6959]

But all lakes can just be rising. I think it’s also in part due to human activity on the planet and our emissions. Not just the taking of former wetlands

[@joshuaambani6145]

This feature was extremely well done and very informative. The reporter did a fantastic job and and NTV as well.

Mother Earth she is reclaiming her self, She is fighting back and i fear we are the parasites

[@marsmaro343]

If you do not take more from nature than u need for yourself and your family then you are not a parasite that is an idea spread by European eugenecists. This is just nature giving Kenyans a new challenge to overcome and they will flourish once they adapt to the conditions move to higher ground and use the lake to irrigate crops.

[@gefftech5673]

This has nothing to do with climate, my suspicions is this is a geological event.The rift is active

[@jomo2483]

It has to do with cutting down Mau Forest. Which was a water catchment area. With much of the trees gone, water runs down the rift valley causing the lakes to rise

[@marsmaro343]

@@jomo2483 there has been an incredible amount of ongoing geological activity documented in Ethiopia and Kenya( The Great Rift Valley) there is major subduction of the land in some areas and uplift in other areas. It is this process that created the network of large deep lakes in East Africa aswell as the high mountain ranges in Ethiopia and the Towering volcanic mountains of Kenya. This is more than cutting a forest as that usually causes the water to recede as more river water is lost to evaporation but when the land subsides it can cause vast areas of land to sink below sea level and eventually fill up with water.

[@boredalchemist]

majinga

[@likatalikata3823]

@@marsmaro343 I support you on this one. People have forgotten the sudden earth cracks/fissures that appeared all over Nakuru county even inside Nakuru town itself. If these lakes are connected underground, there is something happening below the surface. The African continent will eventually split through the rift valley, we may be witnessing the start of that process.

[@taucetus3657]

True, but I think it is a combination of human activity, climate change and the ever active rift system. But mostly it is human activity. These lakes have existed as balanced ecosystems for centuries. As part of the British Royal Parks, these lakes were properly managed by British Kenya. With the exit of the British, successive Kenya administrations became careless and or lazy to understand the ecosystems behind the rift valley lakes and factor within their planning for development, environmental factors at hand. The government in this video is talking billions of dollars to fix these lakes. If they evacuated people and create total no go zones near every water body in the rift system for at least 10 years, the land, rivers and lakes will gradually heal themselves absent any human interaction or involvement. The government has to plant more trees in the Mau and other water towers during this time and evacuate all human interaction and activity near these water towers as well.

@@hellespont1 Soon it will happen... I think infrastructure and safety investment will pay off.

[@ktkkilan]

Excellent piece of journalism - the type that should win awards. It is however surprising that this apparently nature-induced humanitarian , and socio-economic crisis is slowly but surely crystalizing, yet there is no meaningful governmental response program - to study and anticipate short, medium and long-term impacts. BTW, the scope and magnitude of the crisis calls for an immediate national mobilization (including the military and other national security agencies) to co-ordinate interventions to restore livelihoods, infrastructure (both private and public) - including new settlements. The GOK cannot really leave it to the citizens - its beyond their capacity.

[@IAmOfwona]

The lady journalist, Zainab, is simply excellent. I respect nature, it can survive very well without us humans. More often than not, we humans stand in its way. We found nature here, and we shall leave it here. I'm happy that nature is winning.

[@madoxxxx06]

Great content NTV!! Greetings from Kigali 🇷🇼🇷🇼

[@photowala.london]

Land use changes, riparian zone encroachment, loss of wetlands, and urban growth are all contributing to more extreme flooding. These catchment changes reduce rainfall recharging of underground aquifers, and cause more sediment - such as soil - to run off into rivers. This sediment reaches and accumulates in lakes and reservoirs. This can clog natural underground freshwater outlets, in which case lake salinity and levels will rise.

[@gefftech5673]

Like Prof said, the lakes might already be connected underground

[@divinesavant9060]

Most likely

[@steveomondioduor4315]

Sounds that Lake Kamnarok which had no outlet, is suddenly flowing out thus drying out the lake. There must have been alot of sedimentation that raised the lake bed thereby forcing the lake to flow out. Such sedimentation may be associated with the road constructions nearby as observed in Lake Magadi that has received alot of sediment washed there due to the soil from road construction sites that are washed and reach the lake.

[@evanskinyua1549]

Beautiful production

[@sylvestermutalian9737]

The nature is taking its original place...this is how all lakes were formed thousands of years ago...people have to move on higher grounds and let the lakes form..

This is sad! Greedy politicians who worship riches and power are responsible for this yet now they are quiet. When people were being told that destroying the Mau forest would cause problems the greedy politicians misled them not to listen! Now the people are suffering but the greedy politicians are quietly living in their stolen mansions. I hope people learn and do things differently. Good thing is that if they do things the right way the destruction can be reversed.

[@c.gakinya8710]

The only thing I think that needs to be done is, people moving out of the riparian land, including the govt. Infrastructure, and let mother nature live, and be more concerned about conserving whatever the lakes would become. It would actually maybe create something phenomenal.

I have been following this issue of our lakes rising every day.Many people think that it is because of the the rains but that is not the reason.We as a human race have completely forgoten how to track our environment.For thousands of years,our ancestors could track our environment,they would know when it would rain,when there would be floods and so forth,then the whiteman's science came in.We all forgot our ancestors wisdom,we all followed the whitemans science and forgot our own African Archaic science.The wisdom of the old, the wisdom of the rising rivers,lakes,seas and oceans dates back to as far as 10,000 BC.For those who are familiar with the story of the Great Floods written in an old text known as the Epic of the Gilgamesh,part of it is explained in the Christian Bible by Noah.The key to understanding what is happening now lies in our sky,THE STARS.Those who are familiar with Astrology/Astronomy would concur with me on this one.The 2000 years of Picses is coming to an end,probably in the next 100 years or less and a new age is rising known as the age of Aquarius also foretold by Jesus in the book of Luke 22:10.Aquarius as is known of a man carrying a pitcher of water simply is also called the water bringer/water bearer.The flood is just but the begining.,worst is yet to come.The Sun is shifting from one Star constellation to another and as a result,there will be more of floods,earthquakes, meter showers and so forth.All that "Jesus" talked about as the signs of the end of the "AGE" will take place.NOT THE END OF THE WORLD BUT THE END OF THE AGE. I cannot explain the whole idea here but atleast you have an idea of what is happening. For more info read on the Zodiac.
