I was sad to learn from your post that Mbagathi river has dried up and wildlife of Nairobi National Park are dying. Nairobi National Park is in my bucket list.

Is it really due to climate change? As per the details shared here, Mbagathi River, like many other rivers in Kenya, is on the brink of drying up due to the rate of population increase in Karen, a suburb of Nairobi city. There is another school of thought which says how a reservoir construction has affected its natural flow regime.

It does not mean that climate change cannot have significant impacts on rivers and water resources.
