Hydrogeological Mapping and Field Reconnaissance in Kenyan Groundwater Surveys

Hydrogeological mapping and field reconnaissance are foundational steps in any groundwater investigation. In Kenya—where geological formations vary from volcanic highlands and fractured basement terrains to sedimentary basins and coastal aquifers—understanding the hydrogeological context is essential before any borehole drilling begins. Hydrogeological mapping provides a visual and analytical representation of the subsurface water system, while field reconnaissance bridges the gap between desk-based…
