Lake Baringo (1829 words)
Lake Baringo has a number of inlets (Molo, Ol Arabel, Mukutan and Ndau Rivers) and no known outlet, meaning that the water of Lake Baringo is the sum of rainfall, inlets and evapotransporation (Thom and Martin, 1983; Barton et al, 1987).
Lake Baringo has yet to be drilled for core analysis and no study exists on the modern and historical fluctuations or their relationship to rainfall and vegetation.
Lake Baringo is located at 0° 36' N and 36° 04' E, 60 km north of the equator and 975 meters above sea level (Odour et al, 2003).
