The document discusses environmental degradation within the Lake Naivasha basin in Kenya. Lake Naivasha provides habitat for wildlife but has undergone rapid land use changes. This has led to increased demand for scarce resources like water and land. Unless mitigation measures are put in place, environmental degradation is likely to increase due to rapid population growth. While flower growing companies and other water users impact the basin, they may lack scientific information to make informed decisions about sustainable resource management. The document calls for stakeholder involvement to address water scarcity issues and prevent potentially dire human consequences.
