Geomorphological characteristics of upper athi basin and their effect on runoff

Abstract

This study aims at comparing runoff response of two subbasins in upper Athi basin in Kenya on the basis of their geomorphological characteristics. The study revealed that the distribution of bifurcation ratios and form factors agree with the observed runoff variation in the two subbasins, however basin relief indicate the opposite.
