Uruzi rwa Suguta

ni uruzi rudasanzwe ruherereye mu gihugu ca , mu karere ka Rift Valley. Ruzwi cane kuko rutemba mu kibaya kinini citwa Suguta Valley, ahantu humye cane kandi hashushe (one of the driest parts of the Rift Valley).

Izina: Uruzi rwa Suguta

Igihugu: Kenya

Uburebure: Ntibumenyekana neza (biterwa n’ibihe n’imvura)

Isoko (source): Imvura n’amazi y’amasoko yo mu misozi ya Elgeyo-Marakwet / Rift escarpments

Iherezo (mouth): Suguta Valley (ni “ephemeral river system”)

Akarere runyuramwo: Baringo – Turkana corridor

Ubwoko: Uruzi rw’igihe (seasonal / ephemeral river)

Aho ruva n’aho rugana

Uruzi rwa Suguta ntiruri nk’indi migezi ihoraho. Ruvuka igihe imvura iguye mu misozi ikikije Rift Valley, hanyuma amazi agatemba akamanuka mu kibaya ca Suguta.

Amazi menshi:

arabura vuba kubera ubushuhe bukabije
yinjira mu musenyi (infiltration)
rimwe na rimwe akagira imyuzure ikomeye igihe imvura nyinshi iguye

Akamaro k’Uruzi rwa Suguta

1. Ibidukikije vya Rift Valley

rufasha kubika ubutare n’amasimu (sediments)
rugira uruhara mu kubaka landscape ya Suguta Valley
rutuma ibimera bike bikura mu bihe vy’imvura

2. Ubuzima bw’ibikoko vyo mu savanna

Mu bihe vy’imvura:

inzovu n’inyamaswa zo mu bugaragwa zironka amazi
inyoni z’amazi n’iz’ishamba ziza mu kibaya

3. Geology n’ubushakashatsi

Suguta ni ahantu h’ingenzi ku bumenyi bwa geology:

ibikorwa vy’ivunjwa ry’isi (tectonic activity)
ibirunga n’amakosa ya Rift Valley
ubushakashatsi ku mateka y’isi

Ibinyabuzima

Naho ari agace k’umusenyi n’ubushuhe, haboneka:

ibikoko vya savanna mu bihe vy’imvura
inyoni zimwe zimwe z’igihe gito
ibimera bihinduka bitewe n’imvura

Ibibazo ruhura na vyo

Uruzi rwa Suguta ruhura n’ibi bibazo:

kutagira amazi ahoraho (ephemeral nature)
ubushuhe bukabije
isuri ikomeye igihe imvura iguye
kugabanuka kw’ibinyabuzima kubera ibihe bikaze
ihindagurika ry’ibihe

Akamaro mu bukungu

Naho rutagira amazi ahoraho, Suguta ifise akamaro mu:

ubushakashatsi bwa geology n’ivunjwa ry’isi
ubukerarugendo bwa Rift Valley landscapes
kubungabunga ibinyabuzima vya savanna
gusobanukirwa ihindagurika ry’ibihe mu turere twumye

Umusozo

ni uruzi rw’igihe ruherereye mu kibaya ca Rift Valley, ruzwi cane kubera ibihe vyarwo bikaze n’akamaro karwo mu bumenyi bwa geology. Naho rutaba rufise amazi ahoraho, rufasha gusobanura imiterere y’akarere ka Suguta Valley n’iterambere ry’ibidukikije vya Kenya.
