Kathita River : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kathita River
The Kathita River is a river in eastern Kenya. The river flows on a southerly direction through thick equatorial rainforests from a source high on Mount Kenya. It is a tributary of the Tana River. ==Geography== Unlike many other rivers tracing their source on the Kenyan moor land, the Kathita River is unique as it is formed by the melting glaciers on the peaks of Mount Kenya. Hence the reason why its water is very cold at all seasons, even the piped water from this river is this distinct in this attribute of being cold. The Kathita follows a meandering course skirting through the small village towns of Kithaku, Katheri, Kaing'inyo, Gitimbene and finally cuts through the heart of the Meru Town Meru. Kathita river has got a unique attribute in that it's water course runs through deep gorges, due to this engineering works for water irrigation projects on Kathita river is very costly. In the olden days the Wameru had unique log bridges which were used to cross the Kathita river along its deep gorged course. Many of those log bridges are still in operation.
