Waterways are a vital and productive resource to our environment. Rivers provide a variety of amen-
ities and services to communities across the world such as drinking water, food, travel, recreation,
wildlife habitat, connection to place, aesthetic appeal, economic development, among others.
Population increase, urbanization and evolution of human activities has led to increased demand
for ecosystem goods and services. Riverine landscapes, including river Tendelya in Machakos, have
suffered uncontrolled exploitation of these goods and services. This is may be due to the fact that
the river is community owned and not belonging to an individual, hence being a victim of tragedy
of the commons.
This design project examines the importance of the river Tendelya and its watershed to its urban and
rural community and how riverfront design can function as a unifying element for Machakos town,
river Tendelya and the immediate peri-urban zone.
Over half of the world’s future population will be living in urban environments by 2030, which will
dramatically increase the stress on a vulnerable network of water systems. A restoration of a river can
bring awareness to people while improving physical and ecological corridor connections (Bernhardt
& Palmer, 2007).
Abstract

THE BLUE EDGE: RECONNECTING THE FORGOTTEN RIVER MACHAKOS TOWN, KENYA Page iv of 51
Before I joined upper primary school, we lived in the countryside of a rural com-
munity near a small seasonal river. I spent most of my childhood afternoons out-
doors since in lower primary school, classes ended at midday. We had many
memorable activities with my friends along the river, including swimming in the
then clean waters. It hadn’t occurred to me at the time how truly connected I
was to the river’s ecological setting until I began living in an urban environment
and attending boarding schools.
In many urban cities there is little connection between the ecology
of a river and its urban dwellers. Many urban settings include built
infrastructure with poor connections to natural elements and/or paying little
attention to the river.
Why is there a missing connection between the river and its urban setting?
Is it because cities have turned their back away from the river? How can
landscape architecture help urban communities reconnect to a river?

Machakos Town, 64 kilometres southeast of Nairobi, was established in 1887 as the ﬁrst ad-
ministrative centre for the new British East Africa colony, ten years before Nairobi came to
be. However, the British moved the capital to Nairobi in 1899 when Machakos fell too far
outside of the reach of the Uganda Railway that was then under construction.
As the capital of the Machakos County in Eastern Province of Kenya, Machakos Town is a
major rural centre, and also a satellite town due to its proximity to Nairobi. Its population is
rapidly growing and is 192,117 (as of 2009).
Machakos town mainly offers services such as Banking, government administration, educa-
tional, recreational, trade, sports and as a transport corridor junction. The rural neighbour-
hood, mainly acts as agricultural land with low density rural settlements.
The town is situated on a hilly neighbourhood, with the closest as Iveti hills in the East. This has
led to the ever expanding river streams and valleys within the neighbourhood.
1. CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to study

THE BLUE EDGE: RECONNECTING THE FORGOTTEN RIVER MACHAKOS TOWN, KENYA Page 8 of 51
1.2 Problem Statement
Rivers are great resources for both the rural and the urban setting. River Tendelya, in Eastern
Machakos town, acts as the municipality boundary which hence, theoretically, separates
the rural and the urban.
Due to the mixed character in the rivers neighbourhood on either sides, the river has been
neglected and exploited unsustainably, with pollution, sand harvesting and riverbed and
bank erosion as the main problem.
The urban setting has on-site problems such as poor infrastructure, unplanned neighbour-
hoods, poor housing facilities and waste dumping which is the major source of the river
pollution. The town has also developed towards the western side with the eastern side being
neglected however it has riverfront, which is a great asset.
The ‘rural’, Eastern side of the river, faces challenges such as farmland erosion, water and soil
pollution from farm inputs, deforestation and lack of proper circulation routes.
The rural and the urban have a poor relationship in terms of circulation connectivity, product
and service dependency.

1.3 Justification
Rivers in peri urban setting are a great resource for waterfront recreation, climate modifica-
tion, a site for great views among others.
Although only two rainy seasons are experienced in a year in Machakos, the watershed of
river Tendelya, which includes the forested Iveti hills, provides enough water to run agricultur-
al activities in the area even during the dry season.
River, water and soil pollution discourage the usability of related spaces. This is because of
poor production for agricultural activities, they are a breeding ground for pests and diseas-
es, they give a poor scenery a bad odours.
Poor housing and planning tends to be associated with poverty and insecurity. This thus
discourages development of businesses and costly investments by developers. There is thus
need for urban renewal.
The Machakos-Kitui highway, is a major transport corridor across the Ukambani region. This
provides an opportunity to channel users to the site.

1.5 Site selection and location
The site is located on the peri-urban east of Machakos town. It is about
55 hectares in area. The site includes about a 1.2 kilometre stretch of
river Tendelya as shown on the right.
The site includes part of the Kariobangi residential estates, public pur-
pose and recreational land along the river, vehicle garages and ag-
ricultural land. The site is bordered by the Machakos-Kitui highway on
the south, Marikiti market on the West, Machakos-Kusyomuomo road
on the East and Machakos Baptist Primary School on the North.

2. CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW
Human-induced land-use changes can have a significant effect on a stream’s mor-
phology. Deforestation, urbanization, agricultural practices and wetland conversion
can all contribute to stream channel degradation (Hammer 1972; Knox 1977; Hooke
1994).
Impervious surfaces are one of the many human fabrications that disrupt hydrologi-
cal processes. Impervious surfaces are simply substances that halt the penetration of
water into the soil. The result of this barrier is increased runoff, higher stream channel
velocities and greater flooding (Arnold and Gibbons 1996; Wolman 1967). Catch-
ments with 10-20 percent imperviousness can have increases in peak flows up to
two-to-three times the normal discharge (Booth 1990). However, watershed-specific
variables such as bed and bank material, riparian condition, ultimately play a role in
the severity of 10 imperviousness (Bledsoe and Watson 2001).
Banks with cleared riparian corridors will degrade faster than those with vegetation
left intact. Likewise riparian soils with high clay contents will be more resistant to ero-
sion than soils with high sand and silt content (Smerdon and Beasley 1959).
2.1 Human interference on rivers

Hydrological changes in form of increased runoff and erosion occur when lands are
converted from forest or prairie into agricultural usage (Krug 1996). Increased runoff is
often a product of vegetation removal and improper grazing methods since vegeta-
tion plays an important role in slowing runoff and in the absorption of rainfall. Further
detrimental effects such as erosion and habitat destruction occur when livestock are
allowed unrestricted access to riparian buffers (Magilligan and McDowell 1997).
Human-induced changes also contribute to bed sediment disturbance. Agriculture,
urbanization, and timber operations can cause large amounts of sediment to be
delivered into ﬂuvial systems (Hooke 1994).
Excessive rates of gravel deposition and events related to transport or ―gravel
waves, are one notable result of this disturbance. Channels often become sediment
storage places of gravel between high discharge events. Rather than being depos-
ited on overbank locations, sediment moves in episodic events and disrupts channel
form in the new location of deposition (Jacobson 1999).

2.2 The Hydrological cycle
Heating of the ocean water by the sun is the key process that keeps the hydrologi-
cal cycle in motion. Water evaporates, then falls as precipitation in the form of rain,
hail, snow, sleet, drizzle or fog. On its way to Earth some precipitation may evapo-
rate or, when it falls over land, be intercepted by vegetation before reaching the
ground. The cycle continues in three different ways:
• Evaporation/transpiration – On average, as much as 40 percent of precipitation
is evaporated or transpired.
• Percolation into the ground – Water moves downward through cracks and pores
in soil and rocks to the water table. Water can move back up by capillary action
or it can move vertically or horizontally under the earth’s surface until it re-enters
a surface water system.
• Surface runoff – Water runs overland into nearby streams and lakes; the steep-
er the land and the less porous the soil, the greater the runoff. Overland flow is
particularly visible in urban areas. Rivers join each other and eventually form one
major river that carries all of the sub-basins’ runoff into the ocean.
Although the hydrological cycle balances what goes up with what comes down,
one phase of the cycle is “frozen” in the colder regions during the winter season.
During winter, for example, most of the precipitation is simply stored as snow or ice
on the ground. Later, during the spring melt, huge quantities of water are released
quickly, which results in heavy spring runoff and flooding.

2.3 Storm-water management
Storm-water runoff occurs when precipitation from rain or snow-melt ﬂows over the
land surface. The addition of roads, driveways, parking lots, rooftops and other sur-
faces that prevent water from soaking into the ground to our landscape greatly
increases the runoff volume created during storms. This runoff is swiftly carried to our
local streams, lakes, wetlands and rivers and can cause ﬂooding and erosion, and
wash away important habitat for critters that live in the stream.
Storm-water runoff also picks up and carries with it many different pollutants that are
found on paved surfaces such as sediment, nitrogen, phosphorus, bacteria, oil and
grease, trash, pesticides and metals. It comes as no surprise then that storm-water
runoff is the number one cause of stream impairment in urban areas.
To reduce the impacts of runoff on urban streams, EPA expanded the Clean Water
Act in 1987 to require municipalities to obtain permits for discharges of storm-water
runoff. As a result, many communities have adopted regulations requiring develop-
ers to install storm-water management practices that reduce the rate and/or volume
and remove pollutants from runoff generated on their development sites.

• Low-Impact Development (LID) is a storm-water management approach that
seeks to manage runoff using distributed and decentralized micro-scale controls.
LID’s goal is to mimic a site’s predevelopment hydrology by using design tech-
niques that infiltrate, filter, store, evaporate, and detain runoff close to its source.
Instead of conveying and treating storm-water solely in large end-of-pipe facili-
ties located at the bottom of drainage areas, LID addresses storm-water through
small-scale landscape practices and design approaches that preserve natural
drainage features and patterns. Several elements of LID—such as preserving
natural drainage and landscape features—fit right into the Green Infrastructure
approach described below.
• Green Infrastructure refers to natural systems that capture, cleanse and reduce
storm-water runoff using plants, soils and microbes. On the regional scale, green
infrastructure consists of the interconnected network of open spaces and nat-
ural areas (such as forested areas, floodplains and wetlands) that improve wa-
ter quality while providing recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat, air quality
and urban heat island benefits, and other community benefits. At the site scale,
green infrastructure consists of site-specific management practices (such as in-
terconnected natural areas) that are designed to maintain natural hydrological
functions by absorbing and infiltrating precipitation where it falls.

• Environmental Site Design (ESD), also referred to as Better Site Design (BSD), is an
effort to mimic natural systems along the whole storm-water ﬂow path through
combined application of a series of design principles throughout the develop-
ment site. The objective is to replicate forest or natural hydrology and water qual-
ity. ESD practices are considered at the earliest stages of design, implemented
during construction and sustained in the future as a low maintenance natural
system. Each ESD practice incrementally reduces the volume of storm-water on
its way to the stream, thereby reducing the amount of conventional storm-water
infrastructure required. Example practices include preserving natural areas, mini-
mizing and disconnecting impervious cover, minimizing land disturbance, conser-
vation (or cluster) design, using vegetated channels and areas to treat storm-wa-
ter, and incorporating transit, shared parking, and bicycle facilities to allow lower
parking ratios.

3.2 Client Brief Development and Analysis
From the observation made on site, several issues and spaces need to be addressed to meet people and environmental
needs. These spaces and facilities include; pedestrian and circulation routes, residential housing, commercial waterfront fa-
cilities, recreational facilities, agricultural lands, vegetation cover, river re-mediation and storm-water management facilities
and strategies and purpose facilities. The character of these spaces is discussed in the tables below.

3.3 Site Analysis
3.3.1 Erosion, siltation and sand harvesting
River bank erosion is a major challenge in river Tendelya. This is
mainly due to the occurrence of seasonal flash floods and sand
harvesting in the area. During the rainy season, storm water
erodes river Tendelya’s water shed and washes the silt into the
river valley. As the water flows, the silt is washed and cleaned
into sand which is harvested during the during the river’s low tide
levels. Due to continuous harvesting of sand with each passing
season, the river channel continues to deepen forming tall cliffs
which are dangerous and exposed to further erosion. The dia-
grams and site photos below explain further the situation and the
proposed recommendations.
Figure 3.3.1 Source: A. Mboloi, google earth, March 2016
Figure 3.3.2 Images showing the existing river erosion related problems
Though the highlighted areas are the most affected due to the
river meander effect, other areas and river channel stretches are
also affected but at scanty levels.
• Creating a series of dams and weirs along the river channel.
This will help control water velocity levels hence reducing its
erosion power.
• Creating siltation pans. This act as sand harvesting points
and control siltation of the dam lakes.
3.3.1.1 Recommendations

3.3.2 Water and Soil Pollution
Water pollution, at river Tendelya and its tributaries, is on of the
major causes why the site and the river context is under devel-
oped. This is because most people may not be willing to interact
with polluted environments, since they are associated with diseas-
es, poverty and unpleasant visual character.
The main cause of pollution on site is informal solid waste dumping
including dump sites along the river channel. Fertilizers and other
farm inputs are also a source of both soil and water pollutants in
their context.
Figure 3.3.3 Source: A. Mboloi, google earth, March 2016
Figure 3.3.4 Images and diagrams showing the sources of pollution on site
• Embrace organic farming. This involves the use of organic
farm inputs that can decompose within a short period with
least impact on the ecosystem.
• Enhance ground water recharge systems. Runoff should
percolated into the ground on-site rather than being chan-
nelled away. This can be through use of permeable and
pervious paving, rain gardens, soak pits, vegetated swales,
wetlands and swamps. This prevents disposal of polluted wa-
ter into other water systems.
• Increase riparian vegetation. Vegetation cover enhances
water puriﬁcation through the bio-remediation process.
• Solid waste management. Controlling waste disposal, mostly
in the urban area, minimises runoff pollution and contamina-
tion of water systems.

3.3.3 Rain seasons and the riparian
Figure 3.3.5 River levels, floodplains and riparian reserves
Source: A. Mboloi, google earth, March 2016
Machakos town lies within a semi-arid climatic region which experiences two major rain seasons in a year. Sometimes the rains are
too heavy and within a short period (about 5 days) leading to flash floods in river valleys. Due to uncontrolled sand harvesting and
river bed erosion, river Tendelya cannot hold water for long and hence the riverbed is dry for the most part of the year.
Water levels in the river change with seasons (rainy and dry),
usage and weather (evaporation).
The riparian vegetation cover has been cleared exposing the
river bank to erosion and undesirable access.
• Creating a series of dams. The dams harvest and store
storm-water from the flash floods the water could be used for
irrigation farming or recreation.
• Enhancing riparian vegetation. Vegetation enhances
storm-water purification and holds soil together.

3.4 Case Studies
3.4.1 Osumi River Park
Osumi river ﬂows
across southern
Albania, passing
through sever-
al towns, urban
centres and rural
landscapes.
In Albania, major
environmental
problems are
linked with the
waste-waters
and solid wastes
disposal in tanner-
ies. River systems
are the primary
means for dispos-
al of waste, espe-
cially the tannery
efﬂuents.
Due to river water
pollution, the usa-
bility of the river-
front decreased
with time.

RESEARCH BY DESIGN: EXPLORING RESILIENT WAYS OF ‘URBAN BY NATURE’
Test Site: Osumi Island in Berat, Albania
Figures 3.4 Osumi riverfront design diagrams Author: AZPML+ STUDIOARCH4

CASE STUDY OBSERVATIONS
• The design utilises the different seasons for different activities along the river.
• The site displays a different visual character during the different seasons such
as high tide water levels and low tide.
• Enhancing circulation routes opens up the site to more users.
• Use of natural ﬂood mitigation systems such as afforestation.
• The design considers long term impacts such as tourists attraction and main-
tenance costs.
• The design enhances a physical and visual link between the city and the
river.
• The design maximises on natural mitigations to site problems.
This design proposal was don by AZPML+ STUDIOARCH4. The main objective was
to enhance the link between river Osumi and the town of Berat. They met this
by introducing spaces the can accommodate diverse activities during different
seasons.

BIRD’S EYE VIEW

This is a major transit corridor along the Ukambani region.
It’s a two way class C97 highway. It services towns which include; Machakos,
Masii, Makutano, Wamunyu, Katangi and Kitui.
Its benefits and services can be harnessed through;
• Creating feeder roads off the highway into the site
• Enhancing pedestrian safety along the highway
• Utilising off road storm water runoff
• Enhancing corridor views and visual connectivity to the site
Though river Tendelya is a small seasonal stream, about eight meters wide on
average, it has the potential to accommodate riverfront recreation activities
and facilities. Maximisation of its use has been limited by pollution and erosion,
hence not fully exploited. Its benefits and services can be harnessed through;
• Damming the river channel to harvest storm-water during flash floods. This
water can be utilised in irrigation and water recreation.
• Enhancing riparian vegetation cover to enable natural storm-water
• Purification and soil erosion management.
• Designing spaces with diverse character and user comfort to attract people.

highway

The eastern side of the site is mainly made up of agricultural lands. The crops grown on
these farms are mainly seasonal and take about one season to mature. Thus crop farming
is only active during the wet season.
If enough water was provided, the area has potential to grow crops throughout the year.
Through storm-water harvesting, enough water to carry out irrigation would be collected.
The benefits of year round farming include;
• Higher food production hence food security
• Higher incomes to farmers from sale of surplus
• It’s a source of farm jobs during summer, which is rare
Due to the high building density in the Kariobangi residential estate on site, residents lack
enough land to practice agricultural activities. However there are fertile sites which are
unfit for building construction such as the abandoned sewer treatment pond, which offer
an opportunity for agricultural practices.
Urban agriculture offers benefits such as;
• It’s a source of fresh farm produce to urban dwellers
• It offers an opportunity for one to practice farming in an urban context
• It is a source of income from labour services provision to sale of surplus products.

The site within a river valley hence a dramatic terrain. The immediate neighbour-
hood to the east is the Iveti hills. The steep terrain comes with challenges such
as;
• Access and circulation within the site
• Difﬁculties in development of infrastructure such as roads and buildings. This
discourages development within the area.
Most of the land in the marked site is private owned with the farmlands on the
east of the river being ancestral.
Acquiring this land for development or infrastructure expansion would be chal-
lenging since the land parcels are owned by different people and compensa-
tion processes would be tedious.

4.2 Constraints

5. CHAPTER FIVE: DESIGN SOLUTIONS
5.1 Philosophy
The project site lies in a peri-urban zone which comprises of both the urban and
the rural character. The urban comprises of character such as; high Building
densities, higher plot ratio, higher plot coverage, more hardscape, more surface
runoff, less ground water recharge/ seepage, taller buildings, more
circulation routes, higher human population, lesser plant cover, more vehicular
traffic hence more vehicular pollution and more waste production.
The rural character includes; lower Building densities, lower plot ratio, lower plot
coverage, less hardscape, less surface runoff, less ground water recharge/
seepage, shorter buildings, less circulation routes, lower human population and
density, more plant cover, less vehicular traffic hence less vehicular pollution.
The project seeks to create an interactive urban-rural transition zone, with a rich
environment where there is mutual benefit to all elements involved.
DIVERSITY IN TRANSITION

5.2 Concepts
CONNECTIVITY
DIVERSITY
FLUIDITY
This will involve the use of planting variety and
creation of diversified ecosystems to create a rich
system that fits into the site character.
Activity diversity will involve creating variety of
spaces that accommodate different activities at
different seasons.
Creating visual corridors will encourage user
movement to the framed destinations.
Enhancing pedestrianization as a mode of
circulation on site will open up the site to more
users.
The design strategies will seek to enhance smooth
flow of users and activity relations between spaces
to prevent incompatibility of neighbouring spaces.
The design should seek to enhance smooth flow
(visually) of design spaces and allow for smooth
wind movement
