Última The effect of turbid inflows into Winam Gulf, Lake Victoria: a 3D modeling study with ELCOM-CAEDYM OceanDocs Njuguna, H.; Romero, J.R.; Khisa, P.. The catchment of Winam Gulf in Kenya supports a population of 4.5 million inhabitants. Much of the population practices subsistence agriculture in the catchment that has led to high rates of sediment erosion and ultimately highly turbid rivers. Hence, every year during the two equatorial wet seasons, large quantities of catchment sediments are deposited into Winam Gulf. In Apr.-May 2005 an intensive field investigation was undertaken to determine the exchange dynamics between the northeastern offshore waters of Lake Victoria and Winam Gulf through Rusinga Channel. One of the outcomes of this scientific study was the validation of ELCOM (Estuary, Lake and Coastal Ocean Model), a three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamics model, over Rusinga Channel and Winam...

The Mbita Causeway in Kenya was constructed in the early 1980’s to link Rusinga Island to the mainland to facilitate the transport of people, goods, and services to the island. One of the effects of the Causeway was to permanently block a secondary connection between Rusinga Channel and the offshore waters of Lake Victoria. This secondary channel may have served as a substantial pathway of exchange between Winam Gulf and Lake Victoria prior to the Causeway. There has been considerable scientific and political debate as to whether decreased flushing within the two bays on either side of the Causeway has occurred and led to poorer lake water quality since the construction of the barrier. In Apr.-May 2005 an intensive field investigation was undertaken to...
