Until recently, arid environments of Kenya have largely been used for pastoralism and partly for subsistence arable agriculture with a high production risk in view of the considerable variation in annual precipitation. Nonetheless, in the last three decades these areas have increasingly become a significant factor in the export-orientated national agrarian economy in spite of the poor agro-ecological potential of the land and their unsuitability for commercial rainfed agriculture. The government has embarked on irrigation a significant strategy for the development of small-scale agriculture in these areas. However, there are virtually no interdisciplinary studies, although far-reaching repercussions on irrigation schemes in Kenya are already discernible. This paper addressed itself to this challenge. It is an attempt to examine the difficulties encountered in the implementation of Perkerra Irrigation Settlement Scheme and to provide practical solutions to them.
