Heavy Rainfall in Kenya Exposes Land Bargains - Kenya's recent heavy rainfall is uncovering hidden mess in the real estate market, particularly in areas where land prices tend to be lower due to seasonal flooding. With an acre of land in such areas often priced between Ksh 99,000 and Ksh 350,000, the rainy season acts as a natural discount period. Despite typically offering cheaper land rates, these areas become submerged during heavy rains, deterring many buyers. As the water recedes, these lands resurface, revealing their potential for development or agricultural use. Is cheap expensive as they say??

🌊 For large parts of Senegal, the rising Atlantic Ocean, buildings and concrete dykes protecting villas and hotels all along the coast between Dakar and Saloum, and erratic water conditions are rapidly growing problems that are causing extreme coastal erosion. Three scientists, concerned about the damage to coastal communities, decided to work together. Their goal: to ensure a secure future for young people in a village where livelihoods from artisanal fishing and small-scale agriculture are threatened by erosion. 💡🌴 The solution is the construction of permeable wooden groynes made of sticks and palm leaves. These reduce the waves and current and sand to be deposited, widening the beaches and provide more security for inhabitants. The contruction started in 2022 and was a community effort: 100 young adults of the village of Diogué in 8 teams constructed the groynes in a festive setting. So far, 40 meters on the sea all along the coastline of 1 kilometer are regained. At the project site a new symbol is created: coconuts trees are planted on the line that was reached by erosion, symbolizing that the sea will not return. 🥥 For more information visit: https://lnkd.in/eG8jYaU4 Chevalier Patrick #NatureBasedSolutions

In Arusha, Tanzania, locals have ingeniously transformed desert areas into thriving savannas by digging semicircular holes. This simple method collects rainwater, preventing evaporation, and allowing grass seeds to grow, binding the soil and preventing erosion. Introduced by the NGO Justdiggit, over 200,000 of these holes, called "bunds," have been dug since 2013, aiding in the fight against desertification in Kenya and Tanzania.

Bunds reduce the velocity of runoff and soil erosion, retain water behind the bund and support water infiltration. It further helps in ground water recharging and landscape restoration
