Sosiani catchment has in the recent past experienced an upsurge of spatially distributed small scale water diversions/abstractions especially in the upstream reaches of the river. Though the numbers and volume seem small, the cumulative impacts of such mode of diversions are not clearly understood at the micro-catchment level. The study evaluated the water abstraction in River Sosiani Catchment to ascertain the level of abstraction and its impact on the river regime with a view to project future scenarios in the catchment. Historical flow data was analyzed using hydrological indices to characterize the changes in the regimes. Sosiani Kapsaos sub-catchment constitutes 75.5% (38,667.77m3/day) Download
