Lake Naivasha, Kenya Papers submitted by participants at the conference “Science and the Sustainable Management of Shallow Tropical Waters” held at Kenya Wildlife Services Training Institute, Naivasha, Kenya, 11–16 April 1999, together with those from additional studies on the lake

This is the first comprehensive study of an east African lake for thirty years. It represents the culmination of research expeditions which stretch back twenty years and is thus able to pick up long term changes which the individual research activities do not reveal. Lake Naivasha is a tropical lake...
