Statement

Eleven (11) stations were carefully selected by researchers to adequately cover the study area's upper middle and lower catchment. The rainwater samples for each of the 11 rain gauge stations were collected in 2L and 1L HDPE (High-density polyethylene) bottles with tight lid (to avoid loss through evaporation) by trained and supervised Field Monitors (FM). Samples from each location were combined for each month. Monthly integrated rainwater samples were collected for all stations every end month by Data Technician and brought to the field office located in Msambweni where integrated samples were resampled into three 15ml bottles for each site and month. These were stored at room temperature for transit to the laboratory for chloride analysis. The rain samples were processed by the Catalan Institute of Water Research (ICRA) in Spain, using ionic chromatography.
