This is the first comprehensive study of an east African lake for thirty years. Lake Naivasha is a tropical lake whose natural fluctuations are now dwarfed by human impacts. Lake Naivasha has achieved global importance in the past ten years because its waters are used to sustain the largest horticultural industry in Africa.
