1) The document discusses potential impacts of proposed groundwater abstractions from the Merti Aquifer in Wajir, Kenya, including drawdown of water levels and increased salinity. 2) Modeling shows drawdown from abstractions will be less than 10 meters by 2050, which does not pose risks of drying boreholes. However, shallower existing boreholes could be impacted. 3) Increased salinity poses a more serious risk, with modeling finding a 50% risk of boreholes becoming saline by 2050 depending on the unknown depth of the fresh-saline water boundary. Mitigation, like establishing this boundary depth, is needed. 4) Upstream dams and oil
