guess. the project will track tree growth and the yield for 3 years the aim is to study the economic and environmental impact of a shortage of water growing fruit is an important part of the economy in this area . want to model future scenarios just like if one day $1020.00 or 30 percent less water is available will the fruit growers be able to respond appropriately. for. the project will help him fine tune his irrigation program. now careful use of water is a crucial issue here too in africa only which one is a wetland in campbell county and also the head of water over nairobi river tributary the white blood is very important source of water awful farming and divisive. and there is more to the near to the swamp also helps to reduce the impact of floods during the rainy season and helps improve water quality the area

since the trees were planted in the place looks good in the past there was grazing and sometimes cows would get into the swamp and sink in the bog. and now there's no more grass harvesting either. another problem is that waste water from the greenhouse pollutes the area with toxins including heavy metals that serious because the wetland is the source of a tributary of the nairobi river on whose waters the capital depends. the friends of the on t.v. wetland have persuaded some farmers to give up this kind of intensive cultivation. and they're helping to undo the damage. we are plankton by trees along this wetland they are very good. trees when it becomes too. sippin in
