Whatever is happening underneath the Rift Valley has continued to intrigue scientists eager to understand why some of its lakes are overflowing while others are drying up.
While no scientific study has yet been published explaining the recent increase in water levels, there has been no doubt that an activity deep into the earth’s crust could be triggering this overflow aided, perhaps partially, by human activities.

The affected lakes include Turkana in the north, which is overflowing, and Magadi in the South, which is drying up. The unprecedented increase in water levels has also been witnessed in the freshwater lakes of Naivasha and Baringo and the saline lakes of Elmentaita, Nakuru, Bogoria and Logipi.

Excellent documentary. Very timely and informative. Excellent presenter. Good to see some similarities in the issues among some lakes from the north to the south (for example, siltation from runoff due to uncontrolled human activities). Sad to see the impact on livelihoods, businesses, tourism, etc. Some common solutions can be developed and replicated where issues are similar. Thank you.

At 3 min and18 min, indicates that most of the issue is geologically cyclical. People move towards the lakes when they recede and forced out when they expand every 60 years give or take.
