    The ICRAF PRESA project has been operating in Sasumua watershed, northwest of Nairobi since September 2008. Characterised by steep slopes and heavy populations of smallholder farmers, upstream practices have caused sedimentation and pollution into the Sasumua reservoir, supplied by the catchment supplies  and operated by the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NWSC).
