Abstract
A comprehensive hydrology assessment has been carried out on River Siroko, in order to assess the
potential of the hydropower site that was identified on the river at coordinates 1 08’ 29’’N and
34 24’ 35’’ N immediately downstream of the point of confluence of between Siroko and River
Guragado.
The drainage basin for Siroko hydropower project comprises of R. Siroko and a tributary known as
R. Guragado whose headwaters arise from the Mount Elgon. The total Siroko catchment that would
contribute flow to the SHP project would be 60.73km2. The average rainfall for the catchment is
1924mm.
