The objectives of the present study are twofold, (1) establish the patterns of groundwater discharge in representative coastal beaches of Kenya and (2) establish its influence on beach matrix and lagoon temperature and salinity changes. Special attention is paid on the dynamics of groundwater outflow and tide and corresponding variations on the rates of groundwater outflow into the sea. This study was carried out under the auspices of the EU-INCO GROFLO project titled ‘Anthropogenically-induced changes in groundwater outflow and quality, and functioning of the Eastern Africa nearshore ecosystems.Page Range
