County-Level Drought Vulnerability Indicator Dataset for Kenya’s Athi Catchment Basin
Description
This dataset supports a drought-vulnerability assessment of 12 counties intersecting Kenya’s Athi Catchment Basin. It contains six indicators covering exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity: MAM and OND rainfall climatologies (E1 and E2) derived from daily CHIRPS v2.0 data for 1981–2024; estimated annual livestock and crop irrigation-water demand (S1 and S2); county NAVCDP and WSDP allocations for FY 2024/25 used as a drought-mitigation financing proxy (A1); and counts of mapped Water Resources Users Association polygons (A2). The package includes processed county-level data, calculation workbooks, source and processing documentation, and the MATLAB script used for rainfall processing. Where applied, county statistics are adjusted using the county–basin coverage factors documented in the files. The MCDA workbook contains the direction-aligned indicators and TOPSIS and VIKOR calculations.
