Nzoia River

Nzoia River is located in Trans Nzoia County in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya.

The Nzoia River is a 257 km long river. It raises from Mount Elgon and flows south and then west, eventually emptying into Lake Victoria near the town of Port Victoria. Its features includes a number of spectacular waterfalls.

Its waters provide irrigation all year round, while the annual floods around the lowland area of Budalang’i deposit sediment that contributes to the area’s good agricultural production.

Around the industrial region centred at Webuye, the river absorbs a lot of effluent from the paper and sugar factories in the area. It is thought to possess a high potential of hydro-electricity generation.
