Many towns in Kenya have been experiencing a rapid population increase due to rural urban migration. This, in turn as led to increased demand for housing facilities in these towns. The existing public utilities like Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) facilities have been affected by this rapid increase in population.
Related studies that have incorporated both the GIS and Remote Sensing techniques focus on mapping potential arable land only. They identify parameters for arable land and modelled them together based on a GIS map before developing the model for suitability of potential arable land.
